heres the ARK HFC's:
Introducing : ARK PERFORMANCE Inc RSPEC Hi FLOW CAT 370z/G37
The op mentioned in post #7 that he was getting it on acceleration also, which is not typical when referring to new exhaust hiss.

I personally don't feel it's an exhaust leak, but from the OP's description, it sounds like it is not the typical post-cat removal hiss.

Hopefully he will figure it out and give us an update.
