Steve, would the lack of heat dissapation hurt anything?

I couldn't wait any longer, I purchased one tonight as well. I figured at that price, what could it hurt.

I cannot imagine so.
My experience is that the (normal) heat soak out of the steel actually goes out of the tail pipe - this is the main reason we use ceramic coating or wrap on motorcycle exhausts as it helps with under fairing temps.
I was just imagining that quite a lot of this unwanted noise is eminating through the steel wall of each chamber & wrappng it may reduce the drone.
It wouldn't be an expensive experiment......
