remedy for hissing sound?

Yeah, worst case I am stuck with a small his. The car sounds and performs great and I think the hiss is a casualty of war (opening up the entire exhaust system instead of a few pieces). My thoughts are now that the transition from obx y pipe to the mid pipe as a y or u is also 3" that then transitions to 2.5" was my best option. Since that didn't do the job there is no harm in changing out the y pipe and seeing what happens. Cheap part to replace and I can do it myself. Since there are very few running that pipe and jordo had the same issue, I may get lucky and fix it with a new pipe. Have not Try not.

Thanks for the responses, I do feel a lot better about the hiss. The exhaust sounds incredible minus that.
