Great solution. I went with the full meal deal, including the wheel well insulation, and it cut down considerably on heat and noise. We had him install it. It took about half a day and was well worth it. Everything went back right. No extra parts left, no rattles, etc.
From a thermal management standpoint I've been an advocate for blocking/stopping the heat at the source. I don't disagree that removing the interior and adding insulation helps, but I always try to put something on/around pipes or in the tunnel.
I'll have to do some more digging. Otherwise I may just remove the factory manifolds, cats and midpipe and wrap them like I did above.

It's the same base layer as the rest of the exteme/double extreme kit, a sticky, asphalt based sound deadener. I did this about a month ago, it was relatively easy, but also a pain in the ***. It made an appreciable difference in noise and heat. It was worth the effort. If you do it, do your self a favor and get some of those sound deadening roller tools.
We had six cars done over three days. We paid to fly him out and put him up. Everything worked out perfectly. It was like watching a slow-motion magic show. If you can get several cars done it makes it more affordable.
I installed one of his kits in my heavily modified C5, made a huge difference
my ‘19 GS vert has a lot of road noise, his kit is the best solution for sure, just too much work for me anymore at this point of my life but gonna get it done soon as I can
just trying to find a good local installer
I guess I come from the other end of the spectrum. I expect it to be noisy. I have never felt excessive heat from the C7 engine. All I hear is the wind rushing by my ears and sometimes music.
A C4 Roadster is always making noise. From the creaking from the bumps in the road, the three layer top, and the contortions it makes that makes the CD skip.
Who does not have fond memories of the adventures they took in their Triumph or Datsun 2000 Roadsters, wondering if they would get where they were going without a mechanical problem. Who did not love the SU carburetor or the Lucas electrics.
Yup. First car was an MGB. Only stranded me once, with a failed fuel pump. Fortunately, only about a mile from the house. Those cars were a lot of fun.
