Would the header wrap increase throttle response? Due to scavenging the cylinders of exhaust gases, due to the increased exit velocity....


Just throwing that out there....

Just a little update.

Added a Cusco 4-pt rollcage and header wrap the entire exhaust. Header wrap makes for deeper tone on the HKS.

Did using the header wrap on the whole exhaust reduce drone at all or anything?

Yes it did. If I had to put a number on it, it would be about 50% less sound resonating inside the car. There's definitely a difference. But I guess the biggest difference would be if I insulate the entire trunk with this since the mufflers are directly underneath it.

Just waiting for a little more warmer temperature before I go ahead and do this.
