You may find useful information in these threads, though they are about layovers that are a few hours longer than yours:

Long layover in KUL.
12 hour layover in kuala lumpur

There is a lot more information about Kuala Lumpur in FlyerTalk's Asia forum. That's also where the Asia experts who can answer this kind of question tend to hang out. (I'm going to ask a moderator to move this thread to there so you can get the benefit of their knowledge.) While the consensus seems to be that going into the city is worth it, you should be aware that (a) there have been recent reports of very long lines at immigration, which (if you encounter them, not everyone does) may cut your available time so much that it's not worth leaving the airport, and (b) safety is a concern in KL.

I have a 9.5 hr layover in KUL in september. You can take the KLIA express train which will take about 30 minutes to KUL Sentral. I will probably end up booking a local guide from the withlocals.com site for a guided tour

I'll move this over to the Asia forum where you may gather more responses.
