Default Wrapping Pypes OR/H Pipe- Comments?

Im considering getting some exhaust wrap and wrapping the H pipe completely. I have some resonance coming from the pipe and Id like to cut down on the heat. Is this a good idea? Should it work well? Or have any of you guys done it yet?


Thanks

i too thought about getting some of the heat shield wrap and wrapping atleast my L/T headers but then decided it would be a pain in the *** and probably look pretty crappy...i would think that if you are gonna wrap the mid-pipe to reduce heat, you should probably start all the way from the headers and work your way back

I dont really have headers, only the stock manifolds. My main reason for doing this, is the heat coming from the center console and the resonance in the pipe. I heard a long time ago wrapping can cause cracking, is this true?
