Regarding the wrap, I thought about that too. I was thinking of using a muffler repair tape first and then wrapping it on top. I can test the system before I seal it. How many times do you think the doors I made can be bent back and forth without breaking? |

I think a lot, its strong metal, but the problem is that when you go to weld it back together it will be deformed and will be hard to keep it smooth. We bent ours as little as possible.

Wouldnt it be better to make a clean cut - instead of a bend - and then weld it shut after the mod??

I might use you as a giunea pig haha. My dad lives out in Montauk so I can easily make a trip the day we all decide to hear this. If it's an amazing cheap option for more sound I'm game! The stock exhaust is quite impressive as it is. However more sound has never hurt anybody.

Time for an update.
I finished wrapping the pipes and I bolted it up. It is ridiculously loud. It sounds amazing.. There may be a volume issue...too loud, perhaps. Now keep in mind, the doors I made have not been sealed. This was just a trial run. I made a video of cold startup and warm engine. It is raining today so no driving, sorry.

Where is the video?
It should be a bit quieter after you button it up fully. When my valves are opened up a smidge, like your access doors are, its definitely noticeable, so you dont need much of a leak for noticeably increased noise. The question is.. will it drone! It would seem to me that the header tape will still allow sound waves to permeate and you've created quite a cavity there. If I were you, I'd seal that area up better and drive around before you weld it back. You may want to cover the tubes with something more rigid and sound reflecting than the header wrap. If you guys can come north a bit, maybe I may meet up too..maybe get out of the city and work it into a nice fall drive! Its too far to go to LI for a quick meet for me.
