Kline looks very good too. Not quite as "polished" as Akra, but from all accounts a very great product.
After all, as long as it performs well and has a top notch fitment that's all that matters. It's under your car.

Akrapovic is very high quality. You could show it off in an art gallery. Their manufacturing facilities look very high tech.

I have had Akra on all my bikes and it's the business. I did get told by an exhaust shop recently though that they recommend stainless steel systems rather than titanium for cars as, unlike on bikes, the system is fixed into the body and can't move about. Because titanium doesn't flex, this means that long term there can be issues with cracking.
Akra are a really reputable company though and I'm sure would stand by their product if anything happened. Would still be my first choice I think, but I've decided to stick with PSE and my sport headers for now.

I have had the Kline Iconel on since last spring. Ran it all summer after working with Felix at Kline to get the exhaust I wanted and in time for last spring install. The fit and finish is fantastic. I am a previous owner of 3 Europipe systems for previous TT's and the Kline is right there with quality of workmanship.
The sound is fantastic, less muscle car more euro sport but aggressive when you lean into it. I have it set up so it works with my consul switches and after a full summer could not be happier. Eastern European produced with real attention paid to detail and quality.

The Akra is a work of art but the system I was looking at has the fixed tips for one thing and the price point I like better on the Kline. Both amazing systems!

I actually am leaning towards the Kline in Inconel now. I like the sound and the fact the tips are removable I could have them blackened to match my GTS theme.
