182 cup deep whining noise

[172Petey]

2005 inferno cup with prospeed exhaust and free flow cat, deep wining noise starts to be heard at about 35mph, then goes away an comes back louder at 60mph.

If I dip the cluch - to cut the revs, the noise is stil heard so im assuming that removes any gearbox or engine related problems?! Not sure though.

Anyone have any ideas?
