Only thing is I can *definitely* hear air coming from where the cats are. At high RPMs on the road it's noticeable, and when I have the car stationary with the door open during revs. Should I be able to?

For example if I give it a nice rev up to 4k while in neutral, on the release I'll hear air from the front-middle of the under carriage.

I was a bit concerned at first, but I wasn't sure if it was because I'm not used to it, or something isn't right.
If its a hiss on deceleration, when you let go of the gas, then this is perfectly normal. Modifying any component of the 370Z exhaust has this effect, particularly the cats. If you hear it when revving up, when accelerating then you could have a leak.
