Default Which one is best? Kline vs Europipe

im going to buy an exhaust and I'd like to ask you guys which exhaust is better, Kline or Europipe 100 cells. I don't care which one sounds better, it doesn't matter to me..
My car is stock but I'm going to get a Cobb AP from Sam.


​​​​​​​Thanks!

Better is subjective. What metrics are you interested in? Build quality, reliability, likelihood of throwing codes, back pressure, etc....?

the kline 200cel i have is a terrific piece of work. with decat pipes its even better, and sounds phenomenal. the inconel version has to be even "better" than that.

since you're getting the cobb from sam, ask him to offer you a pkg deal since he's the w/c ( NA? ) rep for kline. I'm sure he'll make it hard to refuse.

all of the above Wross, been told that the turbos already create enough back pressure.

I didn't know an after market exhaust could throw codes.

I hear so many guys talk about how the mufflers and the 400 cell cats are choking the TT engine.

My 100cel Milltek sounds great, has no drone and passed the emissions no problem with a UMW tune in place.

thats classic and would leave me behind in the dirt.

( where i'd rather be anyway

here's a more thread appropriate pic lol. the kline is great bang for the buck. but it's not as shiny any more, thats for sure..

Why would you only consider Kline or EP? Just curious, that's all.

OP-
I have a custom 100 octane Sambo tune and a Kline Exhaust....and I frequent Alice's on the Skyline often.

If you're interested in hearing the Kline firsthand shoot me a PM....easily arranged.

I have Kline with 100 cell. My biggest requirement was no drone as I sit on the phone a lot in the car. i've been completely satisfied. Have had numerous people comment on how quiet the car is.....and then change their mind at WOT above 4,500

​​​​​​​because I'm told that these are the two best mufflers for a 996tt.

I would consider Speedtech to be one of the best. I have the 3" Speedtech which is very loud but they have quiet ones if you prefer that. They also have great customer service!

I was thinking of going Europipe but Stef told me that they no longer make the Stage 2 loud as they don't have time to offer different types of exhausts for our Turbos. You'll be happy with whichever you get.
