Default What is header wrap?

I have a exhaust rattle where the passenger side header hooks in with the y-pipe and I tried the aluminum tape, but it didn't help. I've read about header wrap, but there is no description of what exactly it is. Can someone elaborate? Thank you!

its like a closth bandage thats used to keep in heat of headders if their not thermally coated so the exaust veloscity keeps up it... it looks like a wicker knee bandage and they sell it in a roll ive used it to stop exaust bang in 3 places on my car and it works great just cut a piece of it off the roll wrap it arround the area where its banging and worm clamp it down it will deaden the meatal\meatal sound and the problem is slovd

I see you aren't far away from Orlando area. Hows the biker traffic, hehe? I-4 is a mess over here. Anyways, Where can I get the header wrap from? I really need to get that metal clacking sound out of there soon.
