That thing's making all the right noises.
On another note, I'm getting tired of Tapatalk being different every damn time I open the app. There's something to be said for consistency.

They had it pretty well dialed in around thanksgiving last year. Then they did the holiday update. It has been down hill since then. Imo. Now there is a limit on how many pics per post(4 i think) they will host and took alot of getting used to the new format. The search has always sucked though. I use google for that.

Ya it's just gotten worse and worse, tried for the longest time not to update. Had to sadly when it updated for me :-/ but I did learn if you upload the maximum pics, then save the post as a draft, then reply again, it'll ask to return to last draft and it'll have all the pics from before and you can add the maximum pics to that also.

Anyone have any experience using exhaust wrap for heat shielding?
I need to cut down on the radiant heat coming off the exhaust under the floor. I'm thinking wrap from the down pipe to the muffler, and then build and aluminum heat shield over the muffler.

Heat wrap is not a great idea. I wrapped a new exhaust manifold and it rotted/broke all the welds out within months. The replacement that I didn't wrap has lasted years. It did work to reduce heat under the hood, but its terrible for the metal. Just my experience.

I've been reading up on the airbake cookie sheet as its a double layer aluminum with a air pocket between the two. Right now I'm figuring out how to mount it above my catalytic converter
i did the heat shield over my flow master. I took a piece of sheet metal cut it a little larger than the muffler bent down a tab on each end and welded it ito the muffer it about 3/4" gap between the muffler and the shield. Defiantly helped the floor for the back seat.
Picked a few brains and got the same consensus on the exhaust wrap. It definitely cuts down on the radiant heat coming off the pipe, but the moisture it traps makes for a short life.
Currently looking at some stick-on heat shielding (Thermo-Tec) that I'm going to try running on the inside floor directly over the exhaust. I'm hoping this will eliminate the amount of heat the floor can radiate into the cab.
Then I'll build a heat shield over the muffler too. I do like the idea of welding it directly to the muffler with a gap in between, but I'm leaning toward aluminum since it has better heat dissipation properties.
We'll see what I can come up with before NWF.
