Description
**This product has a lead-time of 10-13 weeks**
The Audi R8 2020, with its v10 engine, aluminium monocoque spaceframe, and striking yet refined styling is a formidable supercar, yet still refined enough to be used as a daily driver. with this in mind the sound and performance criteria for the exhaust was clear, to sculpt an exhaust that would be comfortable at cruising speeds, yet raw and powerful in sound and nature in high revs.
Fitment:
Audi R8 V10 2019+
Note:
Images shown may display either stainless steel or inconel versions of product
Features:
Kline Innovation Audi R8 exhaust is available in 304 stainless steel, or ultra light weight F1 grade Inconel 625 (11.5kg).
Inconel 625 - as used in the aerospace industry where very 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 formula one exhausts, and has also been used by some manufacturers on hypercar projects such as Mcalren P1, Aston Martin 177, where lightness is a factor, and exhaust temperatures regularly exceed 1000c. The basic properties of Inconel are characterised by very 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 light weight components that will not fatigue over time. The main disadvantages to using Inconel, is that it's very hard to machine and weld, and requires high skill and time consuming processes. its also very expensive as a raw material
Available in 304 grade stainless steel, full valvetronic system. - grade has become the industry standard for exhaust manufacture. moderate strength, thermo chemical stablity, inexpensive, and easy to manufacture, 304 stainless can be used to build relatively inexpensive exhausts to a high standard of functionality and durability. The main disadvantage to stainless steel is the weight. Roughly the same density of steel, but lowered tensile strength, building high performance exhaust components from stainless can be limited. Also from the perspective of sound, the thick sidewall required from stainless, can produce a slightly dull lackluster sounding exhaust note when compared to the previously mentioned materials!
