its simply a byproduct of removing the factory catalytic converters. its there when you replace with test pipes, highflow cats..long tube headers. you name it. the ARK high flow cat's attempt to fix this with a resonant chamber. look it up!

heres the ARK HFC's:

The op mentioned in post #7 that he was getting it on acceleration also, which is not typical when referring to new exhaust hiss.

I personally don't feel it's an exhaust leak, but from the OP's description, it sounds like it is not the typical post-cat removal hiss.

Hopefully he will figure it out and give us an update.
