I'm thinking your definately going to have some drone. Not sure if you have headers or stock cat etc, but as I understand it most everything drones with the exception of corsa and thats not even a guarantee. I think this might be better than some others in this size tho, 16" is prolly gunna be loud and drone a good amount just based off my straight through 20" which drones. The oval shape might help a bit though.

It appears you undercoated your axle, is that correct or is it stock paint still just looking nice?

You could do a side exit in front of the rear wheel if you can find a nice looking tip.

I have a 22" magnaflow and I find it obnoxious. Way too loud imo

My Denali 6.2 has a dynamax bullet 16" or so and it has minor drone in sixth gear and really does in any other gear, I know because it's my wife's car lol. My buddy had a 16" oval Dynamax and it had no drone and even hard to hear it in th cab of a cc. Mine is a 3" and his was a 2.5" if that makes that big of a difference both have stock other than the mufflers.
