wow, wish i had come across the thread before i bought a cg (loudest) exhaust in combo with a protomotive tune. Today i have a 997.1 turbo with tiptronic and love the dynamics of the car and the usebility of the car.
But this droning is really getting on my nerves, as has been said between 2000 and 3000 rpm. My children hate driving with me in because of the dronenoise :-( it gives them a headache. So there goes the advantage of the backseats.
A little while ago i drove about 800 miles and really i regreted the noise. Today i would not buy the system. Before buying i researched a bit on the internet but overall people were very positive about the noise and droning which is very subjective.
But the short rides make up for it because of the beautiful noise when accelerating.

Just kidding. Kline is an exhaust I would like to try as I don't feel like exhausts should be costing $5000 for these now older cars. If it turns out to be a good product, it is formidable competition.
The only thing I don't like is, purely from some pictures I've seen on line - no flame please, the Kline has a home-made look to it for some reason? Am I wrong? Also, this being such a new product, I like other people, such as you :-), to try it first.

Wow, does this Kline walk on water and feed the dog too? Best of all worlds, do everything, no drone, loud, great deep sound, unbelievable!!! And I mean UN-believable! Just kidding.

Kline isn't new at all and homemade it definitely isn't I know of 5 owners that all say the same thing, take a look at their history and you will see what type of quality products they build unique quality exhaust with a unique sound and I agree I don't thing an exhaust should be outrageously priced just because we drive Porsche. And as far as unbelievable, if you find someone that has it bet you'll change your mind on it. Matter of fact if your in Vegas I will let u hear mine. You bought your current one and what was your reason to purchase? Reviews? Heard one? I research everything I buy extensively and I can tell you it's worth the look
Don't get me wrong, I think the time is right for something like Kline to come along and I sort of want it to be successful to put pressure on other companies, including Cargraphic, EP, Tubi, etc. to lower price.
And sure, I would love to take a listen; but problem is I visited Las Vegas once and don't have any plan to come back, so if you are passing by Los Angeles, please PM me. With some exceptions, I tend to not believe what anyone says anymore until I hear with my own ears.
For one, I hope it would be proven to be better than EP, at half the price, just so I don't have to hear from Leo again.
(Kidding, kidding, no flame please.) Did you hear EP and how does it compare to your Kline? Kline's true competitor, and vice versa, will be EP as EP is a very popular exhaust for Porsche Turbo; could Kline do it at half the price? Last edited by cannga; Oct 9, 2013 at 08:28 PM.

Well Im confused as to why did u buy it if you heard it and now unhappy with it, heard EP yes and in my opinion only it was too weak for my taste why are you so negative on Kline being a great product I just like others in this forum share out experiences and findings with products just like u did about being unhappy with your current exhauat

I am on your side :-) if that would make you happy. I am really just joking around with you and Leo since the 2 of you are so "passionate" (a compliment); one is EP all the way, the other Kline.

we are good then. Leo is not going to be too happy with you though about your EP comment.Outside of yanking your chain about Las Vegas and Kline, etc.; do PM me when you visit LA, and I meant what I said about Kline being a formidable competitor because of the lower cost.
