Sinister EGR delete

Anyone installed the Sinister EGR delete on a 6.0? I just recently installed one of these and I have a hiss under the hood. I am not sure if I have an air leak or if it is just the sound of different airflow from eliniating the EGR and the air flowing through the delete pipe. The delete pipe looks like its a chrome pipe instead of the old iron looking pipe I replaced.

Probably the y-pipe connection at the back of the turbo.

Odds are if you just installed an egr deleate and the Hiss started at the same time you have a Exhaust leak somewhere maybe the Ypipe or at the exhaust manafold where the uppipe connects

when cold start it up and feel around all the connections really fast or hang a string on a stick and watch for it to blow around

Did you install the exhaust pipe gaskets that came with the kit at the joints

Im betting on the ypipe probably has a leak where it connects to the turbo

IIRC you also may have a small hairline crack(s) in the y pipe.
