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

Get stainless headers and you won't have to ever worry about rust or wrap. Stainless is better than coated anything.

But if your budget isn't as big you can wrap steel pipes. They will start to corrode quickly though. I ran my stock heat exchanger pipes wrapped and after two years of daily driving they started flaking big chunks of steel off.
