Dual exhaust looks great on most cars
But the Max has a narrow rear and looks kind of strange with dual exhaust. I've seen some 5th-gen Maximas with dual exhaust and they look like they're too close together. It would look better if you move the stock one outwards a little, then add the second one with a custom B-pipe.

Why does the new Altima get dual exhaust and we don't?

Shouldn't be impossible, just have to get a custom b-pipe that splits off from the y-pipe to two mufflers\exhausts. You also have to find a way to hang it, which I don't think would be too difficult.

Found some:

4th-gens, but the rear is about as wide as on the 5th-gen.

Cool, I've seen those pics before, but never seen a 5th gen with dual exhaust. I'm going over to American muffler this weekend and will find out.

I'm not sure if he noticed if there was a torque loss though, so you may be correct that you lose some bottom-end grunt.

Back-pressure smack-pressure, the 5th gen looks kinda silly with the dual exhaust, even in RBa's photoshop pic. Maybe if you used smaller mufflers and tips it would look better.
