New Budget Y pipe owners......Bees in the can?

How many owners of the new budget y pipes are getting a Bees in the can and y pipe drone at around 2500rmp's? Thats what I run on the highway (75mph speedlimits) and I have a very sound quality oriented stereo put in. I dont want those sounds. Is just about every Mandrel budget Y making these noises? I really want to get a Y pipe but dont want to be tooo loud and defintly no drone or bees in the can.

What do you all think? Budget.....or should I just get a Warpspeed?

Use header wrap to cover the flex section. No more bees in a can.

How much header wrap? The main thing to I like about the budget is that its SS and wont rust out here in CO where they put salts on the roads in the winter. Thats a big plus.

And its alot cheaper.
I think I've heard 2 layers of header wrap will get rid of the noise.

So how much does this stuff cost and does it TRULY work? Has anyone had success with it??? And does it do anything BAD to the y pipe also????

I really want to be sure on things before I go thru and do them. Thanks.

I installed my Budget Y-Pipe in mid-July. I don't have any the "bees in the can" sounds, just a slight hiss only under WOT.

I also don't have any DRONE, but I am running the factory exhaust from the cat back.

I have purchased the 2" DEI Exhaust Wrap ($65 CDN), and it should be installed by the end of the week.
