Question ? Exhaust making a "hissing" noise...
I have a Civic LX Auto w/ an Injen SRI and Greddy SP2 exhaust and when I first installed it, the car would make a very low hissing sound as I shut the car off. However, now I seem to hear it whenever I accelerate during driving.

I ask some people in the past and they said it is the left over air (pressure in the pipes), but as I mentioned, it only did it when I shut the car off. Now it happens as I accelerate.

Anyone know what this sound is?

Thanks in advance… (and please avoid unnecessary comments) 		To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

it could be an exhaust leak since its during acceleration.

Re: ? Exhaust making a "hissing" noise...
If it were an exhaust leak, you would know it. The "hissing" sound is normal from the intake. An exhaust leak has a completely different sound.
