Default header installed and hissing sound.... is this normal?

i just installed my 4-2-1 5 zigen headers. when i went for a test drive, i heard hissing sound. is this my cold air intake because i have more air going in to my motor now or do i have a leak??

or is it normal when you have headers and cai??
