Ok thanks for the replies. Will I need an adjustable panhard rod to fit a 2.5"system?

Nah, an adjustable panhard rod isn't necessary.

Does your's have the flexible section just above the join after the front muffler? If so, that is what is causing the whistle.

Yeah it does. I'm gonna replace the exhaust with a 2.5" system with a rear resi. Do these sound any good?

Depends on what you class as good. Exhaust note is a matter of opinion, what one person thinks sounds good, another will think it's ****.

With a rear resonator is generally a bit quieter than without one and will drone less.

It comes down to muffler quality.

A $200 system probably doesn't have exeptional mufflers. Am I wrong Abba?
