Default Any Feedback on Kline SS exhaust?

I am looking for some feedback on the Kline exhaust

I previously had a soul valveless exhaust with 200 cell hjs cats. I did enjoy the sound but for my daily driving it was a little too much for me. I want to switch to a valved exhaust. I am considering going with the Kline exhaust now, the stainless steel version paired with their 200cell down pipes.

Let me know if you have any feedback on this exhaust or any sound clips. Or if you have any other recommendations on valved exhausts.

I have the Kline inconel valved exhaust with stock cats and a cargraphic valve controller.

The volume with the valves fully open is at the upper limit for loudness for me. The tone sounds smoother and higher pitched vs the stock exhaust.

Appreciate the response @brandobot .
I know someone local here with the exhaust so I am hoping to hear it in person soon before I order

I'm also curious to hear more opinions and experiences with Kine. Considering Inconel for my 992.1 gts.

I have the SS Kline exhaust with stock cats and PSE valve mod with M-Engineering and like it so far. With valves closed it is very tame and adds a good amount of bass to the exhaust tone. With valves open it is much louder with added bass. I'd agree that it is also within my limit of loud exhaust when letting it rip.

There is a tiny bit of drone with valves open and lower RPMs (eg. Normal mode with valves open) but in sport mode with valves open, little to no drone keeping above 2k rpms.

My wife hasn't made any comments about cold start yet so even though its louder, I think it's still within acceptable range. In line with what Flat6 said, this is probably as close to OEM+ without drone.

I had my eyes set on the inconel version so willing to part with my SS kline exhaust for a good price. PM if interested.

Appreciate the feedback. You hit some points that are important to me.... cold start being bearable and not overly loud, and drone being non existent or very minimal. Glad to hear the positive feedback on both of these points.

I'm side tracking the thread question a bit but I cant recommend JCR titanium enough, the tone is awesome.

I installed an Akrapovic exhaust, and retained the stock cats. Cold start is noticeably quite loud now, and I’d be wary of increasing this volume too much more as it would just annoy the neighbors, and maybe me

My suggestion would be you trying out the Kline with stock cats first, and if it’s not loud enough, only then installing the hi-flow cats. Turbo cars tend to get a lot of muffling from the cats too. The good thing with the 992 exhausts is that they are modular, and the cats can be installed without removing the muffler.

Are you running just a valveless center pipe? Do you have link pipes and sport cats too? I'd love to hear what it sounds like at high RPM's. I think I recall seeing a video of your car pulling out of a parking lot and it did sound pretty awesome low down.

Have you heard the difference between SS and Inconel? How significant is it?

Thanks for the link. I have watched a lot of the reviews and listened to the their sound clips. There is a lot of great info but from what I am finding is you just have to listen to them in person if you get a chance.

I have heard a lot of good things about the JCR exhaust. Wish there was one close to me to listen to

So I was able to listen to the kline setup with 200 cell kline downpipes in person. And for my taste it's just the right amount of quiet and loud with a good tone if that make sense. With the valves closed it was quiet and not much different from stock. With the valves open it did have a pronounced volume and a slightly different tone to me. It was definitely OEM plus. Was no where near as loud as my previous soul valveless setup.
