Nice, well done.
This is ghetto but cheap: wrap the entire exhaust with a DOUBLE layer of 2" header wrap - you'll need 100 feet. Follow that up with 3M brand metal foil tape on top. It may smoke a little over time as the glue on the tape burns off. The foil is neccessary to provide a sound "barrier". It also helps to keep everything underneath dry. Take your time doing this to get a good overlapping seal - you may need to drop the exhaust a little to do a good job.
One supposed side benefit is that you'll have even better scavenging and you guessed it - more boost!
Do not EVER wrap a cat with this. (unless its gutted...)
You'll be amazed how much lower the db will be, it will sound even deeper and meaner...just beware the emissions ****'s with their mirrors.

Any good hot rod shop either has it in stock or can order it for you. The 3m Foil tape - you may have to search a little for..don't substitute for thinner stuff, it will compromise the "barrier".
Re-read my post - I edited it a bit......good luck!

Summer is ending so I need to do it quickly, I don't care to drive it in the rain much.
