What make that exhaust hissing noise?
Installed a new system
true dual exhaust
my setup:
test pipes
x flow y pipe
Followed by midpipes then rear section mufflers
when car is parked revving hissing occurs when the car decelerates, sounds like it ls coming from the y pipe x pipe area.
When accelerating between 2500 and 3000 rpms there is a hissing/squeaking noise and this happeneds when decelerating as well same rpms
could the sound be coming due to the flex joints? Or the x pipe?
Please submit your thoughts as I want to get rid of the sound asap
when I have I will post a vid....

from my understanding the hissing comes from your test pipes? just from what ive read in the past posts about it before, my hissing happenes during neutral and just idling, ive got Titek test pipes and HKS true dual.

It could be the test pipes. But mine happeneds when accelerating and decelerating. At idle it doesn't make the hissing sound.
Last night I was cruising in 6th going 75 or so and accelerated to see if it made the sound and it did. All gaskets all new so it cant be bad gaskets.
Does anybody have this problem when accelerating and decelerating?

It's called a X-flow y-pipe. Obviously you've never heard of it.
Can I get some positive input or do people on here just like to post useless ****

But I never got this sound until I switched to a true dual setup. My old set up didn't make this noise not one bit. I'm using the same test pipes.

I always heard that with TPs or HFCs, the flex pipes get more flow to them and expand and contract, which adds to the noise. Everyone told me that I had a leak and I did in fact have one but after fixing it and checking thoroughly, it's just something you have to live with.

hissing is a leak...
I have a leak until the car is running for like 20mins or more then things expand tighten the leaky areas...
Once I turn my car on I can feel air coming from my bolt up areas...
if you got someone to gas the car you can eliminate exactly where it's coming from
