exhaust leaks usually dont his. its more of a ticking for small holes closer to the motor and as u get farther away its more of a loud exhaust. is the car loud? hissing could indicate a bad catalytic converter. weres the hissing coming from?

I agree with Craby, exhaust leaks will be a ticking that corresponds to RPM. Can you find where the noise is coming from?
