Installed headers and now I need to make the truck quieter
I have Speed Engineering LTs and a Corsa catback. The local muffler shop added 1 high flow cat just in front of the catback (couldnt fit a cat behind each header).
I understand headers make the truck louder and this is the third vehicle i've added LT's on. But this truck is really loud. Like, scare small children loud.
What do you suggest to bring the noise down? I have another high flow cat sitting aroudn and am thinkin of having it installed behind the cat thats already installed. Any other suggestions?
What can i do about the 'ticking noise'? I understand the LT's are thinner than the cast manifolds and this is why the problem happens. I am wondering if there is a way to cut that noise down too? Would header wrap work?

The header wrap quieted down the cab in my stroker turbo jeep when I did it. I have a solid lifter cam in it and the headers were quite loud. Of course thicker walled header tubes will run quieter. The wrap works well.

I had this same issue when I went from a 5.3 with stock manifolds to a 6.0 with long tube headers. The straight through Aero Turbine muffler I was running was way too loud and developed a bit of a drone which I cannot stand. Decided to go with a factory 6.2 muffler and am very happy with how the sound turned out when paired with the long tubes and ORY.
