Default Will AfterBurner Backbox effect my music??

ok im no college boy but i dont mind a backbox with a loud & deep rumble. However i also appreciate listening to loud music in my car (2 x 12" Typre R subs 330rms each).
My question is:

Is the Afterburner so loud that it will cause excess noise inside the car? Iv been readin thru previous threads and some folk are making it out to be unbearable. I would like to be able to hold a conversation inside the car lol (Bearing in mind my subwoofers are very loud too & i love blasting them.)

If your into your music then its not the best idea to get a noisy exhaust as the music will have to be loud to overcome the exhaust note, but if you love blasting them what the hell, go for it.

Ive got Afterburner with centre cat and resonator section removed. It isn't too loud at all and you will find yourself 'used' to it before too long. It won't overpower a couple of 12's that’s for sure! Hope your happy with it - I get plenty of positive feedback on my exhaust note.
