Question JBA Exhaust question

Hello everyone! I am new to Camaro 5. I was hoping to get thoughts from everyone. I apologize if this has been discussed already. I have a 2011 Camaro 2SS LS3. I ordered JBA 3" catback exhaust and Lt headers. However I can't afford high flow cats at the moment so I am also going with JBA off road mid pipes. This is my daily driver. I driver 4 days a week around 120 miles per day, all highway pretty much. My question is, will the set up be too loud on the hwy? I am primarily concerned with how Loud it it will be inside the car running in 5th and 6th gear. I've listened to similar setups on utube and the setup sounds pretty wicked/loud at startup and 1-3 gears but can't seem to find anything about hwy driving and the amount of noise. Can you have a conversation in the vehicle or hear your radio and will going by cop sitting on the side of the road in 6th gear will I be in trouble lol. Appreciate any information.

That will have a lot of drone hiflow cats will lessen it a bit. But idk about 6th gear cruising I just remember it had a lot of drone in town.

Thanks for the info man. I may just go with the stock mid pipe
Until I can afford high flo cats. i wanted louder exhaust lol. I guess i am getting it. I don't mind some noise in the cabin but worried it may be over bearable for daily driving. Hope not. Thanks again.

It doesn't bother me. I drive every day on the highway with 2" longtubes, off roads, and 3" jba. It's all personal preference.

I thought people were exaggerating when they talked about drone I had muffler deletes first then I put this catback on. Man now I know what drone is. I don't see how you can have a personal preference for it lol

I was talking about loudness. I don't drone much, just stay out of cruising 40-55 and its fine.
