New PRXB Install

I installed my new e-brake yesterday and wanted to pass along an install tip that may be obvious to many here but I thought I was quite the genius

I also have a question.

I was having some difficulty getting the exhaust to mate back up with the output of the e-brake. Another set of hands wasn't available and I needed to get the exhaust to move forward 1/4 to 3/8 inch. I kept tripping over the porta-power hydraulic press gizmo when it hit me, I could brace it against the gravel under the truck and press against the hanger in the same line as the exhaust at that point. It worked great!

Now for the question. When the brake is activated a very loud hissing sound is heard. I don't find any air leaks in the plumbing or on the cylinder. Is this just the sound of the pressure building up and releasing thru the brake?

Thanks
Chad

BTW I bought it from Pacific Clutch and Brake Good folks there.
