Kline Innovation Exhaust for 458 Italia - why not more popular?

Is that exhaust only in that video? Can really tell the diff w headers/race cats - much throatier, more of a shriek than a scream, much more backfires/sounds of destruction/etc. Exhaust only, though it gets better when you add on the other parts, sounds great!

 

I have the stainless steel exhaust. Headers, 200cell cats, mufflers. Sounds amazing. My installers said the fit was solid too.. Best 458 exhaust they've ever heard. When I was pricing exhausts, this one came in at half the cost of pretty much everything else. Pretty crazy for a non-Chinese knockoff brand. I had to pull the trigger. I'm not sure it's possible to justify the much higher cost of other exhausts. There probably isn't much, if any build quality difference to justify double the price for a different name brand. I researched beforehand and found Kline had a pretty solid reputation among German tuning companies. Just haven't made inroads with the Italian manufacturers much yet.

Sounds fantastic.

From the video description: "I opted for a catless system with a Capristo valve controller."

Any CEL or did you do a tune?

 

I didn't do the headers because I wanted to first hear how radical the system would be with catless, valves and mufflers. It's plenty loud right now and I have a pretty high tolerance for high horsepower muscle cars. I think there's a balance between class and being obnoxious. In the video, the valves are pinned open. The Capristo system allows you to pin the valves open or "off" which means it will operate like OEM (closed but opens at about 3200 rpms).

I had the shop send out and flash my ECU's so there's no CEL. Runs perfectly, improved throttle response and never had a warning light come on.

I have an Akrapovic slip-on system on my 458. It is the best-sounding aftermarket system I have ever owned, and I have owned Capristo, Tubi, Ruf, Cargraphic, Borla and many others in the past for different cars. It saves a lot of weight too and looks great with the carbon tips.

 

Agree w you. Go big or go home

Go to their website. On the left, click on the 3 lines for a drop down menu: "Exhaust Collection", "Ferrari," "458". This will bring you to the 458 products or click the link I just provided you above.

I bought from James at Vivid Racing. Great to work with and good prices.

 

Different design (merged, non-merged, length, diameter, collectors, etc.), materials and material thickness for headers and cat backs will certainly make a significant difference in volume and tone.

 

That's a definite yes. I've changed from Fabspeed to Dundon to now finally Cargraphic with stock exhaust on my GT4. Fabspeed sounds somewhat similar to Cargraphic. Dundon sounded totally different. Fabspeed had terrible build quality and gave me a CEL 7 different times. I had to eat the cost and try the others. Dundon customer service is great but I settled on the Cargraphic because it was my sound preference.
