I have a wireless flash system I got on ebay which I connect to the Canon 580 external flash. When it is set up with ETTL -2 the flash output is stronger on the wireless system (and noticeably louder) and really whitens everything and messing up shots, when I click the pilot light button the flash output is as I would expect it to flash.
Can anyone give me a tip on what is going wrong here?

you could try taking it off ETTL and switch to manual and choose the correct amount of power that you want from the flash 1/16 , or 1/64 etc

its because the triggers you have dont transmit ettl, so you have to set the power of the flash manually

Only few wireless systems support E-TTL. Check specification of the transmitter.

Do Canon have an equivalent of the Nikon Commander System?

The Canon ST-E2 supports E-TTL for off camera flash. It also aids in auto focus.
