Default What does exhaust leak sound like?

Hey guys, i just installed test pipes and it has a hissing sound after letting go of the gas pedal and i know that's not exhaust leak, but i still want to make sure there's no exhaust leaks after my installation. What does an exhaust leak sound like compared to the hissing sound?

Isn't the hissing sound normal? I hear it in every youtube video from those with test pipes or hfc... Plus members on the forum say it's normal....???

I had the hissing sound the very moment i turn on my car after installing my hfc.

So back to topic... Does anyone know what exhaust leak would sound like?
