Without a valve controller, the transition is pretty sharp and when you're driving a twisty road, you cross that threshold a lot so it is kind of obvious.

Glad to hear you enjoy the Kline! I love mine - I'm curious if you can tell a difference with the Iconel, maybe we ought to do another coffee meet. . (or actually take a drive this time)
I’m anxiously waiting to get my valve controller installed and try it out.
Regarding inconel vs SS, my brain tells me the inconel is higher pitched but we’d have to drive back to back to be sure. We should set something up later after I get the valve controller issue resolved.

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I'm curious if you have found any differences with inconel vs ss? Sound quality and tone, not loudness.

I am glad to have come across this thread. The OP might as will have been describing my current BC Fabs muffler. It is very similar to what was written about the Akrapovic especially the loudness and the boomy behavior. It makes the comparison with the Kline all the more relevant and encouraging to me as I wait for mine.
