Default Question about my 99Si....Why would v-tec not kick in.

When I hit 5500 rpm. I'm not feeling the crossover like I should. And ever since i got my exhuast fabricated I hear this loud "HISSSS" right when i hit 5500. When i hear the " Hissssss" it's like the car wants to do something but it doesnt'. The car runs fine. And i'm pretty sure the oil pressure is good.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

How do you know?
Clogged solenoid screen, dirty oil pickup, oil pump getting weak, oil level low, any check engine lights?
