Stainless Works 3" Retro Chambered Cat Back Exhaust

How loud is the "Stainless Works 3" Retro Chambered Cat Back Exhaust" inside the car when cruising? Can you still hear the radio and carry on conversations?

I have SW LTH and retro cat less exhaust. It will be loud but you can still hear the radio and have a conversation in the cabin. Only issue I really have is hands free phone conversations when above 3k rpm.

Best sounding exhaust for the Camaro, but from 2500-3000 rpm, it does get loud. WOT you will feel like your driving a nascar which is the sound I was looking for

I fully concur. Cruising on the freeway around 1700-1900 is when it resonates with cabin and is the worst inside the cabin. But even then you can still carry on conversations and won't even hear it with the radio on. It's extremely impressive though and sounds AWESOME!

I have it and don't feel it causes in-cabin conversations to be difficult, with windows up or down. A set of these will help your car sound the way it was meant to sound.

Its really not bad at all.

It sounds awesome.

Here is a video i did of the catback on my car before it was supercharged.

Just a gently drive on the highway, no drone. Love it.

When cruising it is just a nice deep back ground rumble. You know it is there but it is not intrusive. When you are accelerating or just plain acting like a fool, well, that is another story.
