Kline performance exhaust systems

Kline Innovation develops sports car exhaust systems using materials including Inconel 625. Its range also includes stainless steel manifolds and carbon-fibre tailpipes.

The brand engineers applications for cars such as the Porsche 911, Ferrari 458 and Corvette C8 Z06. Kline exhausts suit owners who prioritise material selection, sound character and components designed for a specific vehicle platform.

Kline explains that Inconel’s strength permits thinner walls and lower component weight. Its carbon-fibre parts use pre-preg material cured under heat and pressure in an autoclave. Thermal-management options also include a proprietary zirconium ceramic coating and hand-fabricated stainless steel heat shields.

History and development. Kline’s development is documented through projects for niche supercar manufacturers including W Motors, RUF and Corbellati. Its portfolio includes the Fenyr SuperSport, unveiled in 2015, and the Corbellati Missile project shown in 2018; these are vehicle-debut dates, not Kline’s founding date.

The business today. The business now combines exhaust sales with original-equipment design and low-to-medium-volume production. It carries out modelling, scanning and component manufacturing internally and reports collaboration with Base Materials on material solutions. Engineering services therefore remain part of its activities alongside ready-made aftermarket systems.
