What exactly needs to be "broken in"? How about a quick video as the car DROVE AWAY FROM GETTING THE EXHAUST FITTED???

I don't buy it.

Just give me something! Something so I know it doesn't sound like a wet fart in a Folgers can, so I can spend money I don't have on this thing I don't really need for reasons I can't justify.

PLEASE?

An improperly broken-in exhaust can lead to pipe constriction and therefore increased back pressure, and can also disrupt the pulse-tuning aspects of a good exhaust. On top of it all, you may not pass emissions!

Not properly managing your heat cycles in the first 47 +/- 2 hours of operation may ruin the heat treatment of the pipes. They can become soft, or worse, brittle and crack-prone.

Make sure you let the exhaust come up to temperature and then cool completely at least 20-25 times before exceeding 25 mph. Any additional airflow under the car will make it cool too rapidly


I'm just fuking with yall

I find it hard to believe the manufacturer would just allow the test vehicle to be fitted then go on his merry way without taking a bunch of pictures and videos of their new product.


Chime in, EndlessRPM/AckTL05?

^ I agree, unless the owner had the final say so.


Seriously, exhaust should be "broken in" or "burn in" to get its real tone. My XLR8 exhaust sounded loud and raspy at first, but after a few weeks it tone down and sounded much better.

Yeah, that actually makes a bit of sense.

Still, I'd like to hear the initial tone and the broken in tone as well.

Meh. Guess we'll just need to be patient.

Guys and girls to clear some stuff up:


No sound clip because the way it works is the company makes it on the car, and then ships it out to us for local install on a car for the final approval. we have in the past changed a few things, or we liked it - either way we don't want to jump the gun and post a video that may sound slightly different than received. but to move things forward the delay was owner of car had to wait a few weeks to drop it off, but things are underway and exhaust is shipped out to us, so figure about 1-2 weeks we will have it installed and videos galore. Usually they do videos for me and we post, but not being broken in and someones car they didn't want to drive it. His car was on bags and custom so they didn't want to risk anything, and as we all know an initial start up of a new exhaust on idle really isn't what it sounds like under load. I promise the wait will be worth it and we wouldn't jump into something that will fail as in the past our 3g and 4g exhausts are a popular item.

Also, broken in we are referring to the exhaust. All exhaust being new need to be broken in by carbon build up, etc so over time it will get more aggressive and "clam down" persay and get more throaty. So while most of our tl videos are just installed, that isn't the final sound - it will get better over time as it breaks in.

As per welding, these are slip fit connectors - flanges design sucks. Of course where it connects to the front it will be a nickle plated thick flage, but the rear is slip fits. So there is no need to get anything welded as this unit will be a plug and play.


We are also lining up a wagon to get either a longer mid section or an extended pipe to order so we should be having a wagon design as well since owner who went in also confirmed wagon does fit just needs to be extended so we are figuring out the easiest solution on that part.


This will not sound like a fart can, civic etc beause we are using all American made stainless and American built. We have in the past see our systems installed on a v4 accord and sounded great, someone modified the 04-08 tl to fit 03-06 accord and being a 4 it didn't sound rice at all. We are confident this will be one of the better sounding exhausts being quality material. All exhaust sounds different from either mufflers, flow and piping. Others being china made the exhaust notes bounce off of the metal which is why on ebay or some other systems it sounds like a tin can because the exhaust pulses and waves are bouncing off thin and non stainless material. They claim stainless but that's china grade which ive seen in the past that china grade has a different material and wouldn't even be considered true stainless in America.

Bruce, your passion comes across in your forum support. Lawd noes you aren't making millions off this, so your passion and desire to help the community, your effort in modding and helping install things, your chasing of parts...

it's all appreciated...by me, others and I hope that comes across. Thanks for all you do.

So, I'm not hearing any rasp. Is that because he wasn't getting on it, or because there truly isn't any?

Bruce hates rasp...so he probably made an exhaust that wouldn't have much.

All driving videos show no rasp and I personally didn't hear any from the car driving back and forth. It is female owned and she was worried about it for weeks thinking it will be raspy and her boyfriend has a 1g TSX - both absolutely loved it and thought it was one of the best ones out there. He even asked me to make one for the 1g TSX community. Unfortunately I do not own a TSX so ideally I am just getting more videos and reactions and going off of that. The exhaust did have to break in as well - so ideally if it left this good, its only getting better.

Only way I would assume rasp come into play is ideally when one uses ebay parts, tuedo products, obx - all china made stainless that just rasps like no other.

Just the other day I saw someone post saying they didn't want to get it because they saw on the 3g section endless has rasp - but that's not true. The car did have rasp but he was also running a tuedo j pipe which was the cause. I've switched people over from other exhausts and they went from rasp to none.

To be completely honest IMO when buying an exhaust I don't 110% go for just sound. We not only go for sound, but the two other most important things - drone and rasp. Those three key factors were what we had in mine before making any exhaust. Most exhaust are just "made" and sold - we (as you an see) have about a few months into this already just designing the thing.


PLUS, did I mention that all of our EndLess catbacks are LIFE TIME warranty to original owner and made here in America...

Hey Bruce, the other exhausts you've made for other platforms... Are they all 409SS as well? I'm sure compared to whatever low-alloy used in the OEM exhaust 409SS is a giant step up. But I wonder about the long term durability compared to a 304SS system.

Maybe it just isn't an issue?

Do we think the RV6 PCD would still add rasp back in?

304 stainless is just shiner, that's all - they both get surface heat marks / etc...

problem is don't confused this with the all time shinny 304Sus which is the china grad stainless they claim to be full stainless in their systems...

Our mufflers/tips and connectors are all t304, the piping is 409. It really comes down to how you take care of a system - ive seen a name brand 304 for the 3rd gen run through within 5-7 years. While its rare - it happens to anything if not taken care of.

They do lifetime warranty the pipes, or million miles. So ideally they stand behind that it will last. The only issue with rusting through on 409 would be faster than 304 but your talking 1 millions years compared to 5 million.

Many are running pcds on their 3g's and don't have rasp, but again it depends what your mid/j pipe is. If its like a tseudo or ebay thing, it will have rasp no matter what you do.

I figured as much. I'm far from a metallurgist, all I know is that 304 has a higher chromium content and is more resistant to corrosion than 409.

But even on the low end, I'm not likely to keep the car much longer than one million years, so it sounds like 409 would be just fine.

Thanks for the insight!

We don't own the car so we are relying on the owner to grab some good videos and such. I was told this Tuesday I should get some legit video's because I do have more but iphone's really don't do this exhaust justice.

We would need 5 people paid for and we will start the wagon version. We can change the regular a little to fit the wagon, but to be a perfectionist I rather just do a whole other line and be two different set ups to fit both cars perfect. Anyone interested who has a wagon?


As per dynos, we don't have one yet and their not out. I will say all of our systems- from j pipes to catbacks have all shown a significant dyno gain. For instance our j pipe with test pipe for the 04-08 dynode 3-4 more hp over long tubes.

They are available for presale now - they are in production so 5-6 weeks they will be ready to ship but presale will end soon..

ANOTHER GREAT thing about this system is that are making two front sections with EVERY order. One section will be non resonated and one will be resonated, so you have the choice for resonated or non resonated depending upon how loud you like it, mods, 4 or 6 cyl...

We do need 4-5 people paid before we start the wagon version. This will sound similar and videos have been uploaded...

So far 2 have paid!

This is a direct bolt-on fit to a stock TSX correct?

Are payments being charged up-front or at time of shipment?

Thank you!

Direct bolt-on, yes.

It's a pre-sale for the initial run of units. Charged upon ordering.

^ What OP just said above - one was made for testing/etc and pictures/videos are uploaded to the site under description. Wagon we need 3 more to get the project underway and sedan are in production so that price is only for another week or two being its a presale price.
