Air leak.&nbsp\\; Put some high temperature RTV silicon sealant inside the inlet of the mufflers.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;

I'd take a look at the saddlebag supports(loose) and the exhaust isolators(lube 'em with white grease).

You can use a lighter to find the leak put the flame by the connections and see if the flame moves and if it does that is your leak and then use high temp silicone or better clamps to seal it up

the noise goes away when it is hot because it expands and seals it up, the noise you are hearing is the exhaust leaking kinda like whistling

Same problem here, but at least you don't have all those slash marks in your post.&nbsp\\; I'm using Firefox browser. What are you using?&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;
