Default Does This Sound Awkward

Installed the exhaust, bolted everything down with the torque wrench. This is the first time of me revving the car when idle (warmed up of course), but I hear a bit of hissing noise. Is that due to the exhaust not being broken in, or is it a possible air leak? Just wanted to make sure before any issues occur.



I just noticed youtube destroyed the quality, but sounds like air flowing while I rev (it's barely noticeable). Thanks!

If you can have some one hold a towel in the muffler outlet to keep exhaust from escaping you can put you hand at each gasket to feel for a leak. You can also use a lighter, if its strong enough the flame should waver, or move.

You do have gaskets in the joints -- don't you?
