how bad is the whine dude?

[Doorman]

you can hear it over the cdafter the car has warmed up you can feel it too through the pedals manual box not auto

If it whines when driving straight then it's the diff (or something else in the driveline), not the LS unit.
Normal open diffs sometimes go on for tens of thousands of miles after they develop a whine.
