It's 80% how any SxS is. Doing things like a windshield//doors/roof are a double edged sword because while you're trying to add protection they also hold a lot in (noise, heat, dust), then you end up going through extra lengths to combat those things. I have given up on trying to "fix" all these things inherent with any side by side but have incrementally done what I can to feasibly mitigate. With the heat, it seems like each "upgrade" has been noticeable at first, but as you're riding for long periods it still just starts to get heat soaked to some extent.
Pulled console panels and added dynamat (thermotec/dei etc) for heat/sound. Slight heat improvement, slight sound improvement.
Added console cover. More improvement that the dynamat on both heat and sound.
Just wrapped exhaust. Noticable sound change, similar improvement to sound level as the cover. I have not spent any extended time riding, but probably 2 20-30 minute cycles around the neighborhood to burn it in. Initial impression is some heat reduction, more than dynamat/cover together. Will be up in the woods this week with hot weather so I'll see how it works.
As far as what's involved in the wrap...Removed both console side panels and driver's under-seat panel. Pulled the front o2 sensor then front exhaust pipe. Replaced the gasket & donut on this pipe (look up Partzilla). Did that one out of the rig, which was all I was planning to do, then had enough to do the rest of the pipes all the way to the muffler and just did them in place. Used one roll of this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012C5FOLK/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
