I am so looking forward to do this mod but my car is still at the dealership waiting to be fixed.
All my opinion, so YMMV
Sound in cabin previously was about 2 (on scale 1 to 10) from exhaust standpoint and now it's about 5-6 on average - so yes it's louder. However, I noticed that it's very easy to drive gently and in that case you don't attract attention at all - sound in cabin will be about 3 or 4 at the most. It's mostly when you step on gas pedal when beast wakes up to 6. If you WOT - it's about 7-8 for sure (I reserved 9 and 10 for catless downpipes - they will be a lot louder no doubt). Drone is largely eliminated by resonators still intact - the beauty of this mod I guess. However, there is some drone from time to time - it's not a usual drone, but more a deep bass drone that is hardly noticeable, but it's there sometimes. It's not present all the time, maybe it's not even a drone itself, but just a louder exhaust that is now more audible in cabin - and maybe that's what I'm describing as drone. I'm still not sure completely, I need to drive car more when I get back to test it at 60-80mph highway constant driving speeds. I know for sure that it haven't given me a headache and I'm sensitive person to that. I get headaches from exhausts that are loud but not deep - like Honda fart can exhaust and similar. This mod gets you very compose, but deep sound - and it may register as loud sometimes, but never as something that you want to not hear, in fact it makes you want to hear it more
