You can hear it when you're outside the car or with the window open. It's not as noticeable when the windows are closed. All the flanges fit fine and bolts are tightened properly. Bluestyle, is that what you describe as hiss and rasp? I would describe what I hear as a rattle. It's getting annoying. Anyone else notice this?
Na dude, the rattle is not normal. I would define the 370z 'rasp' tone that meny people remark about as a way to describe a somewhat harsher sounding exhaust note. The rasp occurs during hard pulls at open throttle.

Did you install this your self or did a shop do it? Do you have a CBE or is it still stock?

The dealer installed it for me. They had installed a few Berks HFCs and a Stillen one before, which was why I went to them...they have experience and no problem dealing with that demon bolt. I have the same setup as you (G3, Invidia Gemini and ERZ HFC).

I have a rattle as well after installing my HFC. Seems like it's coming from the HFC when I hit 3K but thought it was normal.
