I was thinking of ways to lower engine noise and maybe heat in the engine bay.
Opinions on the header / exhaust wrap?

I'd ceramic them first then wrapp. The ceramic will keep the pipes rust free and won't crack from the heat since it will be protected from the coating. Ceramic headers for a v8 should only be 200$ or so and thats inside and out.
