problem with my sri installation

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]I've just installed the SRI and everytime I push the gas it makes a hissing sound (and im not talking about the deep throaty sound either)....???? is something wrong and am i just tripping? i know it's supposed to make the hissing sound as soon as you turn off your car but it does it too everytime i step on the gas....i checked and everything seems fit and secure...any help would be much appreciated...

ps..sorry for the double post [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

wait, how high pitched is it.... check to make sure all your clamps are tight and there are no leaks. A Vaccum leak will hiss like that
