The noise isn't really there unless I push on it and one highway it's there after about 75 mph

If interior resonance is not increased much, this might be my next mod. I could always add the second resonator I have around. I have used OBX stuff before, and for the price it is hard to beat.

They are a little close but it has been over a thousand miles and they have yet to be affected

That's what heat wrap is for!

That's one of those things that even if it doesn't cause damage right away it would be a long term durability issue if there is not sufficient clearance to prevent the lines/ hoses from being damaged by the heat.
It might be ok now, but there was shielding over the stock manifold to protect the other under hood components for a reason.
Well then they had better get wrapping, its still completely exposed in those pictures minus the heater coolant lines which were already wrapped.

I believe they could be re-positioned and maybe protected with a sleeve (heat resistant). You need less gap between them than you realize once the car is moving, but more is better of course.

I just care about hearing it. Who cares about the video quality?
I just do not want to have to wear ear plugs to work like I did my old 2001 Focus with a long tube and Magnaflow exhaust. I had a long tube and Vibrant exhaust on a Protege 5 and got the resonance under control with two long glass packs as resonators. Of course both of those cars have no where near 12.1 compression like the 2012 Focus...

I'd be interested in hearing a drive by video. I plan on doing this when we get tuning.

The dyno video from Focusboy58 is not bad as far as sound goes. It is just the interior resonance I worry about. I could give a [
