I would not recommend header wrap because that will eventually corrode the piping as it traps in moisture. For the OP, where exactly is the exhaust hitting? Are all the rubber hangers pretty tight or do they still have some give?

get your headers wrapped. I will not only reduce your engine bay's heat but also lessen some worthless sounds,.

I have the same issue. I dont know where the expletive the noise is coming from. I have taken off every shield underneath and it has an annoying rattle at low rpm's.
