iv got a magnex mani and full exhaust system on my 205 GTI and at 4rmp (80mph) it seems to whine and whistle really loud! iv spoken to a few people that have the same problem and just wondering if anyone knows how to stop it?

cheers

That's the resonance that the exhaust is tuned to. Try going slower or faster.....

or just stick the OE back on, very little gains to be had with an after-market system unless you have a lot of engine mods
