Possible problem with exhaust system?

I installed dc 4-2-1 headers and a magnaflowhigh-flow catalyic conv. on my EK today. I already have a magnaflow catback. I got a mechanic to help me install it so I wouldn't mess anything up, anyways. I was driving home and I noticed a little tiny whistling sound coming from my muffler (i think). It only happens when i am pressing down on the accelator, and it gets louder as my speed builds. I re-checked and re-tightened everything and it seems to be fine, I didn't find any leaks. Could this be a different problem? Or should I not worry about it? The sound is barely noticeable but I just wanted to see if you guys have any suggestions on what could be causing this quiet whistling sound. Thanks.

naw, it's prolly just airflow characteristics of that combination that make the whistling sound. I think you may be stuck with it. often it's the intakes that make a whistling sound
