Kline 718 GT4/Spyder exhaust
#2041
Just writing in to add an additional data point.
I got the Inconel OAP+backbox+controller installed and felt that when I had the controller set to OEM PSE mode, the valves being closed caused a very boomy/bassy sound from 0-4k and especially peaky from 2k-2.8k rpm. I noted that the boomy/bassy noise would go away when valves were opened via controller. So, the hypothesis (and supported by others here) was that I needed to open the valves a bit during OEM operation to reduce the noise.
I installed the collar mod at the lowest/most conservative position, and it has basically entirely fixed the boomy/bassiness and now I am totally satisfied with the exhaust. Awesome stuff!

Open them bitches all the way up. I have a CG controller and just leave them open. Not a problem EVER!!!

Has anyone done any PM for the potential rusting/sticking of the flap actuator rods, for those like me who have them basically 95% open. I was thinking about spraying some DW-40 on the shafts, or putting a little lithium grease at the top. Any thoughts?

I was actually looking at the valves on the Kline - do they seem less "spring loaded" vs the OEM ones? When I actuate them by hand they do not spring back to full open as forcefully as the OEM system.

...and have you all been simply pushing the vaccum lines onto the Kline valves as is with oem clamps? Or have you cut off the oem clamps and put new hose clamps? I just pushed the lines on with oem clamps. The felt just as tight as they were on the oem valves.

I did the same.

If you play with the piston and move it in/out of the exhaust you'll understand. On the Kline is the position lowest to the ground, so most of the piston can make it up into the tube before the collar contacts.

I’ve had mine there Mr. Frunk for a few months now. I like it, and enjoy the car with PSE off and on, sometimes I like it better with PSE off as the build up the rpm range sounds more natural.

Super happy to see the great quality product from Kline. Inconel version with 4RS carbon tips.
Eric from Supreme Power is the man to make this happen! Now, I need to wait for the right timing to install them due to the snow in Chicago…
