Can any one shed any light?

The T has started whistling when accelerating. The harder the acceleration the louder the whistle?

I've got a maxogen fitted, which I've had no issue (or whistle) with for over 12 months, all pipes from filter to plenum seem ok.

any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Mine started doing this around 2 years ago, I fitted a de-cat pipe and it went away. I did some research and apparently the cat can develop a hair-line crack which you cant see by eye and this causes the whistling noise. Surely enough when I refitted the cat for MOT the whistling noise returned.
