    db of Stock Exhaust?

    Has anyone had to put their stock GT through a noise test (for instance to participate in a track day)? I'm interested in what the db is at approximately 5,500-6,500 rpm I've done a search on the site but couldn't find a relevant thread. TIA

    Any well connected Ford people?
