Did it help..I can hear the entire inside of my engine running lol..dual valve springs add to the noise. I thought about replacing the headers..I had my headers coated like yours and had it stripped for a different coating. It looked like chrome and dulled slightly, but look new..just a lot of noise for no good reason..

Well I highly doubt it will help for valve train noise, I was targeting heat around transmission, but I hear you on engine sounds, I guess is something to get used to now. On the side note the metal zip ties are shit! waste of time and money.

Is that a catted Y-pipe or catless/off road Y??

It is catted, but I just thought about that I may have issue at the inspection station since they can't see them, need to look for some one that I can pay and be over with, @Tonyrodz do you know any places to do private inspection is it even still possible to do so?

I know there's still some guys that do it, but I don't know anyone off hand. I used to have my inspector's license--worked at Eatontown, but I let it go cuz I didn't know I could've renewed it. Anyway, your Hoe is legit. I bet as long as you explain to them it's wrapped because of the heat--unless it's a ********--you should pass. No codes right?

The only thing that wrap will probably do is cause that pipe it's wrapped around to rust out quicker
