Question Loud whistle from exhaust?

I recently changed back from straight pipes to the stock exhaust. I love the quieter sound so much more, plus the seat-o-the-pants meter makes me think the truck lost low end torque with the straight pipes, but who knows. Now to my problem, when I get on it hard (4500-5500 rpm) their is an extremely loud whistling sound from the exhaust. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen? I know their is a small leak right after the muffler, but I didn't think that would cause such a loud whistle. Thanks for any assistance.

My bet's on the leak. I've had small holes in muffler pipes in the past that annoyed the hell out of me...
