I take it by wrapping you mean you wrapped the header with some sort of heat shield blanket thing. If you did the popping is likely due to the fact that the exhaust gasses aren't cooling that much since you insulated the header. Basically the left over gas is still combusting when it leaves the exhaust. IMO. I would try leaning it out some to see what it will do. if it was already too lean it prolly wouldn't pop since most of the gas has been combusted already. Make sense?

anyways i saw you sig, what kind of tranny/transfer case are you using. Sounds like a pretty cool combo. haha do you off road it or anything I can't imagine it being that good with such a high torque curve.

that extra heat is helping your exhaust flow, but killing your headers. try going to a smaller air bleed to richen up the top end a little.
