Default people with x-pipes; hissing noise?

i'm not exactly sure what i'm hearing since i'm new to X-Pipes.

it almost sounds like a leak.. it's a hissing noise, but I can't find any leaks. is this the air crossing at the X that I'm hearing?

it doesn't sound bad, but I don't wanna be running a leak

I have the Bassani X-Pipe with high-flow cats if that matters.

yeap...my o/r h is the same....from my understanding it is because the airflow has increased and there is no leak.

you should have even more airflow with your current setup than before

It must have something to do with the Cats, 'cause I have the FRPP X-Pipe, and I don't hear anything like that.

at idle there is a slight sound that is like a leak, but at more rpm's it is drowned out by the loud a$$ exhaust sound!

yeah that's what i'm getting. the hissing is loudest around 2500RPM. it pretty much goes away after that
