Kline Audi RS5 V8 Down Pipes, Centre Section and Rear Section Exhaust
The RS5, striking yet elegant. Advancing revs so quickly, the 4.2l FSI v8 engine producing 444hp is a beautiful example of modern engineering. the potential to improve the sound, and power response through exhaust tuning, was enough to make this one of our early marques for a Kline Inconel full exhaust system.
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.
