Question stock exhaust + cutout vs LTs, catted Y, quiet catback

Been listening to a lot of sound clips on ls1sounds.com, and I really like the sound some guy has on his complete stock exhaust + cutout setup. But I am wondering how bad the cabin noise is....

How does the cabin noise compare for a cutout vs LT's, catted y, and a quiet catback like magnaflow? Any advice? I would like a good sound but I dont want the exhaust overpowering the radio type thing, like my last car was. Give me some opinions.

cabin noise with a cutout is annoying to put it mildly. but then again, i like to hear the radio and the person in the car trying to talk to me. it's the worst around 2000-2300 rpms. it'll be much quieter if you have a nice catback like the magnaflow or bassani tru-duals like i have.

I have a cutout and it doesn't bother me at all. I've never had issues with hearing the radio except at WOT.

Just go with an electric cut out and close it when you want.
