I did find A leak, between the headers and the next pipe on the driver side. The gasket wasn't sitting right. I loosened it up and adjusted it then tightened it back up. But it hasn't fixed the sound totally. I'm starting to wonder if it's SUPPOSED to sound like that. I mean, I heard the hiss that the catback would make when I would rev it a bit and then let off the gas. When the rpms were going down it would hiss just for a second, and it was pretty quiet. But this is very loud, loud enough to hear it with the windows up and over low music. It sounds like I have a turbo setup. I made a video of the sound while my mother in law was revving the motor a little bit. Again, I know it makes a sound when you let off the gas, that's normal. But imagine this sound all the time, accel, decel, cruising, everything.
