Ah, yeah, you're going to hear those because the exhaust manifolds hide the sounds. Headers help bring them back around. Another benefit to headers!

I hear my valves a lot more too. It'* simply something that comes with headers. Not sure why, but it happens. Perhaps you can wrap the headers? Also, your 95 engine may simply be louder because it'* the first year of the Series 2.

None that I know of. Wrapping the headers might help, and perhaps putting Dynamat everywhere in the engine bay and on the underside of the hood may help, but otherwise I'm sure there'* not that much to do.
