Always stock header, otherwise these combos. Always with a valve controller.

Stock OAP, Soul Valved Rear section: Good Tone, Bad 2400-2900 RPM drone, boom Valves open or closed.
Soul Comp OAP, Soul Valved Rear section: Good Tone, decently loud volume, better but still present 2400-2900 RPM drone, boom Valves open or closed.
Soul Resonated OAP, Soul Valved Rear section: Good Tone, good volume, even better/slightly less 2400-2900 RPM drone, boom Valves open or closed.
Soul Resonated OAP, Stock Rear section: OK tone, good volume, no drone that was better than stock

Goals with Kline Inconel, tone improvement acceptable drone, loosing some weight. Uncledude and I have exchanged a lot back and forth, as we have both had similar setups, this should meet my goals. Just need to get some time to go drive it now.

Similar path to you. Soul valved rear is total trash. The Soul ROAP's are good bang for buck. Now have Kline SS, which is superb sound (exotic and sophisticated)

I just did! Okay, pretty much everything said here is true. It’s glorious! Since I bought this used, I know it’s broken in too!

My most recent setup was just Soul resonated OAPs, with stock rear box. This system is tamer than that at low throttle and low revs, but with better tone. I tried valves open/ valves closed, and stock PSE, all good! I might miss the bark down low, but still best system I’ve experienced in this platform.

Nice! I did a fair bit of canvassing back channel before I purchased and private conversations were the same as public. They really did figure it out, and I’ve really come to like the valves closed sound, so much so that I’ll probably sell the new cargraphic controller I have.

There are a few of us who took a similar path, so I’m not surprised you like it. It is a great overall system with OEM quality sound IMO - it is nice just driving and not having to make any adjustments related to RPM. I hope you do a video so we can compare it to the others you’ve made.

Agree, the Soul ROAPs with PSE is a great bang for buck. Good cleaner sound, but I found the tone still to much like OEM.
The Kline is just next level and makes the car sound more special/exotic than what it is. I get thumbs up from people as I drive past on many occasions, which surprises me as modded many cars' exhausts over the year and never had this reaction. I asked a buddy to do a drive-by while I listened, and I get why the sound is a head turner. Over 5000rpm it really screams.

After more miles and a PCA Autocross today, this is by far the best sounding exhaust I've personally experienced on these cars. Some small bass in the lower rev range, but an acceptable level, not the drone that was tiring on the Soul rear. Had my fellow drivers give me an honest review from outside the car, as they said, friends don't let friends drive bad exhausts! I was running after a 991.2 GT3RS that was all stock, reported my car sounded better than that. A fellow 4.0L owner now wants the same exhaust! If you can afford the premium over just an OAP, so worth it. Will do some videos this week.

Agree. Wait until you rev it out to 7500rpm in 2nd & 3rd with a VC, or just remove the soft limiter and rev it in an indoor parking station

Already have a VC, and take the car to redline pretty much every time I drive. Bottom deck bridges were fun today!

More time at track at the end of the month too!

On track I found the ROAP + PSE louder than the Kline. Not that louder is better.
