Hissing sound after off road pipes? HELP Alright I just installed Mufflex off road pipes and TSP Rumbler and now I hear a MUCH MUCH louder exhaust but from the front of the car I hear a hissing noise that gets louder as the RPM's go up. I sat under my car while it was running and had my dad rev a bit and there are NO leaks at all. I felt all around where the exhaust is connected here and there and felt no air with my hands and I put my ear to everywhere it's bolted as well and no sound.
The sound is really like a supercharger whine and is very smooth. Could it be my intake sucking in more air or something now that exhaust is opened up??
I have had leaks before and it doesn't sound at all like this does, It's really not a bad sound just makes me nervous.

Hmmm could be because intake sound and an exhaust leak don't even sound the same. I have a K&N FIPK on mine and I can hear the sucking sound occasionally when the exhaust doesn't drown it out
