If im rite the sound that you are hearing is a leak, but i can be wrong cause i dont have a hi flow cat. but I would share the situation like you cause i also hear a whistling sound to and its due to a leak. I run straight pipe from header to exhuast.

its probably just the air circulation moving from the header into the cat...my friends integra does the same, or did...after a while you get used to it and the hum of the exhaust or whine of the intake takes over

does the sound irritate you? or is a deep whistle sound? if yes it is your high flow catback, try askin another person who also got the same cat as yours if he hears that whistle sound

I have no problems with mine, but I had all the flanges and such welded unless together by gaskets. Before I welded them I still didn't hear nothing-so I would have to say its some leak or something internal.
