Hissing sound after JCW resonator delete

I recently took out my resonator from my JCW exhaust and replaced it with a pipe because the resonator was making vibration sounds.

I noticed that now every time when i start it up the first time when it's cold, it makes a funny hissing sound when i gas it. But once the car is warmed up, it's gone.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Yep......exhaust cold means it has shrunk down a bit, when it gets hot it expands.
