Don't know if this is a repost, if so, sorry. Just got an email though from Brothers Performance and checked out their site, they have the Magna Flow exhaust systems in stock now, and looks like they are ready to go for a bunch of other parts as soon as they get them including body kits. They have pics of the GTR up on the link to the body kits, I hope this means they expect to be carrying it.

I wouldn't bother with the exhaust system, 'cause you're pitching the stainless exhaust tubes. I'll bet you'll get just as much of an HP gain buy puting on the same mufflers and keep the stainless exhaust. It's mandrel bent and stainless from the factory, and the stainless tubing will keep the exhaust a little hotter and evacuate the exhaust at near the same velocity as the larger diameter aluminized steel will. True, there will be a different sound with the larger diameter exhaust, but the stainless won't corrode, where as the aluminized steal won't last 5 years in a humid, salty environment.... i.e. Coastal states

Magnaflow makes their complete systems out of "high quality 400 Series Stainless Steel". The polished tips are 304 S.S.
Factory exhaust systems are made from 409 S.S., which is the cheapest stainless steel available. It will far outlast Aluminized steel as you mention, but it gets pretty ugly as it ages. A typical factory system should last more than 100k miles ... I put over 140k on an O.E. '96 Cobra system that I put on my '98 V6. However, I had to replace the Aluminized Steel Pacesetter H-Pipe Adapter at around 80k.
