After installing my Mugen header the car sounded different. kind of what you are describing, but not really a hissing sound just more airy (sp) if that makes any sense. I think it does have to do with the thinner walls of the header + no heat shields covering the most of header and bouncing soundwaves around (like the OE header would).

Its completely normal and nothing to worry about. If there are no leaks then you are fine
