exhaust noise

To start with I straight piped my truck and it sounds great up to around 2100 rpm. After that is has a high pitched whistling/fluttering sound. You can't hear it with the windows up but with them down it is very noticeable when pass someone, go by a building, or over an overpass. I added a walker full flow muffler to it today to see it it made any difference. It really quitened the truck up a lot

but it did nothing for the whistling/fluttering sound. Do you think a resonator might change the pitch or something. People are following me around wondering why my truck is making such a shrill sound. I have removed the EZ and boost elbow just to see if there was any difference. The sound was still there and the power sucked so I pulled over on side of the highway and plugged the EZ back up immeadiately. Does anyone elses truck make this noise? Maybe just the way the 03 is.
