Default TP+Tanabe Y-pipe+AP exhuast RASP/HISSING

So my setup consists of a JWT intake, Non-resonated Test Pipes, Tanabe Y-pipe and Agency Power exhuast. . . I love the sound but when my car is revving down from like 4k to 2k it makes a Hissing or raspy noise (it almost sounds like an exhaust leak). . . I bought a pair of resonated test pipes because I think it should fix the problem but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience and how they have fixed it. Thanks in advance.

Hissing sound is normal for test pipes. It's controversial as to what's causing it as many people have their own explanations.

I've read that the gaskets may be the issue. Same thing on my setup and I just have HFC but reused the oem gaskets.

I actually used new gaskets and made sure to tighten everything down as well as possible. . . so I know it cant be the gaskets . . . the only thing i can think of is that since there is a lack of back pressure it makes the sound at the exhaust exit
