I just installed the stillen universal Y pipe on my '96 GLE, I don't hear any difference when i turn on the car, but when i accelerate, i hear a hissing sound that gets increasingly louder the more gas i give it, is this i leak? or are there any other ways to check?

I just installed a Cattman Y on my 2k1. And I hear the exact same thing....talked to others and that is just the sound characterstic it gives. Are you feeling significant power gains since stock?
