I also created a written guide for anyone that is curious about the specific steps to do this as a DIY. I was too busy trying not to screw up to even think about making a video and it would be NC17 with the amount of cussing along the way! I may go back and add photos to this but hopefully the written steps are useful to someone. - https://911maniac.com/kline/. Any pros out there that spot errors in the steps or know a better way, please let me know and I will update it.

Great write up! One thing to note is I did not have to replace my oem ear clamp from the vacuum hose, upon test fitting it, it was still a very tight fit.
Really funny, and really spectacular write up! Better than a video, honestly, as I find it hard to play/pause through a youtube video, but you can print out a written post. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. Your post just pushed me over the edge to self-installing. Again, thanks a lot, that is a really well-executed and generous contribution.
Thanks and that's a good point. I was able to slip the vacuum line off with a tug and I likely could have pushed it back on. That would have totally wasted my purchase of the 300 tube clamps and my new tool so I replaced them anyway
Hey @K-Nut thanks! You and Pete are the main reason (as well as the support and encouragement of others!) I went with Kline and then all the way to the 200cells. So happy with the full system. Its also sounding better and better as I drive it - the ECU tune also does not hurt. Maybe thats a reason why the sound for me under 4k WOT with valves open sound just a touch harsh on the inside... I need to take some videos. But overall Kline is working out way better than I ever expected and this mod has made the car even more special.
always happy to help @Kline makes phenomenal Exhaust , quality and craftsmanship is top of the line
A quick crappy video. Obviously when I laid the phone down you can tell it covered up some of the sound/microphone. Not sure if this helps anyone. Next time I go out with the car, I will try again and hold the phone up or have someone go with me. My girlfriend is scared of the car so not sure if she will be helpful in that regard. She'd probably be screaming...hahaha!!!

I loved the drive home but I need more time with it for any real review. I loved the tone all through the rpm range and I really loved the wail above 5k. I’m using the standard PSE at this point because my controller isn’t working yet. That’s the next project
I’ve got a tour on Saturday so I’ll have more time to test it out. The drive home was top down and it sounded sublime.
Has anyone compared the Kline exhaust with Cargraphics’ x-pipe? Especially if you have heard them both in person, would be great to get your thoughts on the differences.
I went back to the shop to finish the job by installing the oem cross-bar muffler mount that I left off the first time. Oops. I also used that as an opportunity to re-torque everything since I've gone through a half dozen heat cycles. It was a bit of a pain to put the cross-bar on after the muffler was mounted so I would recommend getting it at least hand tight before installing. You can see the cross-bar missing in the first few photos and then finally all finished:
