Hissing high whistle sound coming from back end!!??

Dont really know how to explain this well, but here goes, when the car is cold and is in park, or when im cruisin at a slow pace and not hitting the gas at WOT, there is a steady "shhhhhhh" type of high pitched whistle comin from my car. If i get under the car, it is loudest right by my rear wheels. I have a new budget Y and a new stainless muffler and piping to the cat. Any ideas?

I have an infiniti g20 and I also get a hissing sound. Mine is my fuel pump. I might have a small exhaust leak too. If its anything other than that I am clueless.

I am upgrading mine in the infiniti to a walbro 190. Its going to cost me $150 for parts and installation. The oem replacements are a lot of money. But the upgraded ones are cheap.
