Resonated test pipes can and will usually hiss just like non-resonated will.

If the diameter was wider on the Y pipe, it almost certainly hissed.
If your test pipes were resonated, it didn't rattle significantly.
If the AAM Y pipe is about the same diameter as OEM then that's why it didn't hiss.
The cat-back muffler is not the issue -- all the noises are coming from diameter transitions and resonance from everything just past the headers. Whoever optimistically hoped it could be dialed out via VVEL, unfortunately, is mistaken. No one's found a way to do that and it most likely just isn't possible.
