I have the Kline Race with no cats and headers. Love the sound, especially at moderate acceleration around town while holding the RPMs. It's fairly docile as low RPM cruise. I can carry a conversation on the phone or with a passenger, no problem.

I just installed a Kline headers and exhaust system - using Sam above. First of all i highly recommend him. Onto my exhaust. I told Sam i wanted to improve the sound (as i felt it was lacking) BUT i wanted it to be livable daily and be able to cruise around, speak on the phone and not attract attention when driving around town. There are also multiple exhaust choices. I got a very conservative 200 cell one (IIRC). The one in the video sounds to me to be a much more aggressive option than I got. Maybe the race, 0 cell option. Mine - In normal mode and when driving normally, it is almost the same as stock. However, when in sport mode and you get on it, it sounds like a sports car should sound. It is not a GT3 (NA and loud throughout the range) and it is not loud all the time. Only when u punch it and are on it. So mission accomplished for me. I can go out for dinner w the wife. Listen to the Burm. Have an awesome daily. Speak on the phone, But when the time comes, i can punch it and it doesnt sound anemic. I also got a Cobb tune and changed the PDK and bumped up the power - Stage 2. It is really quick now and the PDK is much better. Previously in normal mode - i was in 6th gear at 20mph. Now normal is pretty much perfect for a daily. Sport is for when u want to be on it (Canyons etc).
Bottom line - there are options and you have to consult someone and describe what you want. Then u can get it.

I have that Kline race exhaust on my car. It doesn't really sound like it does in the video. It sounds so much Better. With the windows down, it is down right intoxicating.
I must have watched that video 50 times if not more before ordering (and while waiting to receive) my exhaust.
All along, I thought it must be too good to be true.
When I received/installed it... it actually exceeded my (already very high) expectations.
Coming from a 991 gt3 to a 991tts, I had no hope in the sound department.
This exhaust turned that upside down for me.
And I too, feared that the transformation would come at the expense of too much drone or being too loud. But no, there's absolutely no drone and it's not too loud at all. Especially in normal mode, you can very comfortably talk on the phone while driving; pretty much just as you would in a bone stock naturally aspirated Carrera GTS.
For what its worth, Sam's offer/guarantee is a no brainer. He is a man of his word.

As said above it sounds better than the clip, Sam at By Design installed my Kline headers, exhaust and 100 cats. Sam is great to deal with and knows what he is talking about, could not be more pleased, my 992 turbo s will visit Sam as well. Sam knows more than exhaust too, he can make a great car even better.

200 Cell SS
I purchased the Kline 200 Cel SS system and absolutely love the sound. As others have stated, not an issue when driving "normal". No drone, conversation is good, wife not complaining. However, when you put the pedal down, your heart will race along with the car. I didn't want something too loud and this was perfect. I agree that the clip on the Kline website is more of the race pipes they offer.

I haven't recorded mine, just got it installed before Christmas. I have to echo the guys above...exactly the sound I wanted...quiet when you are at parking lot speeds, then when you are on it, the sound is sublime. Haven't recorded it as of yet...sorry!

I had a Kline on a previous Pcar and now the Europipe on my TTS. Both are super high quality pieces with great sound. If you go catless you will have increased sound. If that is your thing or you are tracking, it will be louder.
The Kline or EP with sport cats still sound great.
