One last thing about this install using the wrap. When I first started the car after installation and lifted the hood I thought the engine compartment itself was actually quieter than stock.

Nice work! Should stay cooler and, hopefully, no more CEL's.

I used to do this on the Harley's I had come in to the shop...Very easy to do and no restriction or need to re-tune. Cut the cat in half, remove the guts ad weld it back together. Looks completely stock.
