It can absolutely drown it out
Right now I have a quieter set up, but still pretty aggressive with v1s and catless, and it's STILL taking away from the airbox, though I do like the mixture of them right now.
I would say it's more than just volume out the tail pipe though. IF your system has cats and resonators, but is still loud, it shouldn't take away from the airbox as much as a straight piped car (with quiet exh like me) would.
Drone and rasp coming from the headers and midpipes will take away more than volume out the tailpipe imo.
If you felt it were too much, before getting rid of your sec3, if you love it, you could try a resonated X pipe or 2.5" dual in sect 2 to further cut down on rasp/drone. That might do it.
Ultimately, it'd be hard to argue that any exh setup is more fun to listen to than the airbox, so I would error on the side of quiet/calm for exh to really enjoy what is the premier mod for our car (induction).
I think the best thing to do would be install a cutout and run a stock sect2/3, then open it up when you wanna get loud.

Loud Mufffler and CSL airbox
Does anyone here run a csl airbox with a loud exhaust?
Can you still hear the induction noise or does the exhaust sound hide it?
I run a ti exhaust and rasp pipe in section 1. Everything else is stock.
Muffler is about as loud as a SS race.
Any feedback from those with experience?
