Default Kline vs Akrapovic

Thoughts on which system is the loudest and sounds the best?

Debating between the Kline inconel system with 100 cell cats or the Akrapovic full titanium system which I think comes with 200 cell cats since it doesn’t throw a check engine light, but the Kline will.

Price wise Kline is $10,000 and Akrapovic is $13,000

Any input from the community would be appreciated!

I have heard the Akrapovic is extremely loud. Best (sound) is subjective. All are extremely good and high quality. I am putting an IPE exhaust on my car next week.

Would you say Akra is louder than Kline w/ 100 cell cats? I actually really like iPE’s sound, but build quality is a hit or a miss. My friend had 4 different cars that all had iPE and 2 systems were 10/10 craftsmanship while 2 others had broken welds. Granted these were Ferrari units not Porsche.

I have the full akrapovic system and love it. Build quality is insane & power is strong. Had it on my winged GT3 992 & just put it on my RS. Knew I paid 17k but that was when it first came into the US. Eric @SupremePower hooked me up. Super good guys.

Do you mind sharing where you are getting a full Akrapovic system for $13k? Much appreciated.

Through YouTube I couldn’t tell the difference between stock and Akra. Akra sounded a smidge louder.

i ended up with ipe and am happy with it. I think it can and should sound better but I don’t feel like blowing more money for crap shoots with other brands.

if I got adventurous I’d get either the Kline or R1

I’ve had several Akrapovic systems over the years and fit and finish and sound has always been on point. I find them to be a bit lower toned. More bass. But did I say fit and finish was good? I meant fit and finish is amazing.

Now for GT3 I have listened to a lot of videos and the sound of the Kline videos is unreal. That video they put out was excellent. Me personally I want the GT3 to sound exotic and I need to hear one for myself but I think Kline has the edge tone wise.

Great system, loud and a bit of drone if you go headers. However, absolutely not worth $19,800 for their titanium system. More than Akrapovic and Kline by a fair margin and the build quality is meh. I would say it’s worth $7500-9500 at best.

+1, check the videos from “P Life” on YouTube, that’s a serious sounding machine. Inconel and very aggressive pricing. This might end up being the winner for me
