Test pipes/Y pipes + Header wrap

As many of you know or dont, I loved my exhaust (Greddy TiC) but with the test pipes and Ypipe they became really raspy

So today I went over to Dynamic Turbo in Plantation, FL. a big name in the Supra game Had my test pipes and the whole Y-pipe wrapped in header wrap.

Long story short.... I LOVE IT I would say about 80% of my rasp is gone. The exhaust sounds sooo much better and the interior noise is gone. The exhaust is loud as hell from the outside though. Videos were taken but still trying to learn how to upload them

So header wrapping my pipes will remove or lower the cabin noise? I'm not sure what that is.

I knew that would help. Good deal

Now don't scrape it on anything and keep an eye on it from time to time so it doesn't unravel....

Test pipes and the whole y pipe was wrapped, I think the main problem was those pieces that bend on the y pipe, they rattled like crazy but not anymore

Haha wait till you hear it.



The wraps passed the wife test where she still believed the silencers were on the car Its hard to expalin, its almost like it insulated the exahust noise and pushes it out of the Greddy giving it a better sound than ever!
