Well after working on trying to get off the stock exhaust i just did not have the tool or the space to break the seal on the bolts for the hangers so i ended up taking it somewhere to have it installed Saturday morning. After the install i got in my car and reved it a little and it sounded great, still does but after a day of driving it around i am starting to get a hiss sound on decel around 2500 rpms not to mention there is a rattle that sounds like a bb bouncing around which could be something loose from the install. Has anyone around had this hiss with there exhaust that could lend a little help on how to fix, it seems to be getting worse. I will try and post a sound clip so you can see what i am talking about.

here is a vido of the sound

The hiss perfectly normal. Kind of a signature sound with these motors when you put a free flowing aftermarket exhaust with a true x pipe in it. Between 2000-2500 with the gas pedal released is where I get most of my hiss. Mine was not quite that loud with just the cat back but when I put on the headers it got much louder than yours.
As for the rattle it sounds like it could be the heat shield thats above the mufflers. There are directions with the exhaust that say to cut a portion of it off so that it will clear the mufflers, so if the shop didnt do that, that might be your issue. If they did remove it cut it and reinstall it it may be slightly bent from handling causing it to rattle, or not tightened properly. I dont know just throwing a few things out there.

yeah i did a little searching and found the hiss to be normal, as for the rattle i am going to have to wait till i have a second hand to hold the rpms somewhere between 1700 and 1900 rpms because i noticed that i can find the rpm making the noise and hold it there and it will just sit there and rattle but by myself i cant get out and search for the noise, thanks for the info bro
