Description
Kline Mercedes S63 Coupe Cat Pipe Section
The Mercedes S63 AMG, with 612 hp, and an earth shifting 900 nm torque, the V8 biturbo will propel this super sedan to 60mph in just 3.5 seconds. Here at Kline, we felt that the exhaust note should fulfil its bull baritone potential.
Inconel
Inconel 625, as used in the aerospace industry where extremely durable and heat withstanding components are required, for example for the exhaust turbine blades in high performance jet engines. Inconel is also used for the manufacture of Formula1 exhausts and has also been used by some manufacturers on hypercar projects such as McLaren P1, Aston Martin 177, where lightness is a factor, and exhaust temperatures regularly exceed 1000°C.
The basic properties of Inconel are characterised by extremely high tensile strength, and extreme thermo chemical stability. Because of the high tensile strength of Inconel (roughly the same strength to weight ratio as titanium), very thin sidewall material can be used while still maintaining structural integrity, resulting in very lightweight components that will not fatigue over time. Using Inconel requires a high skill level and is a very time-consuming process which is all worthwhile for the highest quality exhaust system.
The Sound
Replacing the 600CPSI catalysts, with 100 cell HJS race cats, opens the sound up significantly. Addition of our trademark 20 degree 1D CLR x pipe blends the left and right banks, increasing the tenor range, and giving a fuller, richer vocal, while removing unwanted bass frequencies (drone). The Valvetronic rear silencers, containing our proprietary “Jekyl and hyde” technology, are almost stock quiet on valve closure, to allow for stealthy driving, and zero highway drone. On valve open, the silencer is completely bypassed, allowing the full, untainted V8 Howl ensue.
Performance
Available in 100 CPSI race catalysts, or decat for optimum performance. Gains are 21hp and 30nm for 100CPSI cats, 38hp and 50nm for decat. (the gains listed, are after air fuel ratios have been compensated via software for the exhaust upgrade. To experience the full performance potential of the exhaust upgrade, an ecu tune is recommended.)
Cross Sections
Downpipes, centre and rear, 70mm OD. Chosen specifically for a balance of power and torque.
Valve closed tail transit, 50mm
