Need Gibson Exhaust Decibel Level

[SportTrac_46]

Hello, this is my first post here so hello whomever may read this.

I recently purchased an 08' Sport Trac with the 4.6 and of course I want to hear it. So I have already, the Gibson 319901 Catback system ready to install.

However, I am worried that I will end up exceeding my local sound restrictions of 92 dB @ 2000 (+/- 200) RPM. Using a basic dB level app on my phone indicates around 68-72 dB at idle and about 80-82 dB at about 2000 RPM with the stock system.

Could anyone that has this same setup chime in and possibly run the same tests to get a short "feel" of where I would end up at? Or maybe somebody knows the exact differences Stock vs Aftermarket. There is very little online for self research and I've already put in a couple days work searching around with little to no solid answers.

All help is greatly appreciated and I look forward to my time here at the forums.

I have the system on my 08 Adrenalin 4.6 with a rear exit modification. The note is mellow and not loud . Very similar to a stock Mustang GT. I put a Ford Racing (Borla) 49 state legal system on my 11 Mustang which is much louder than the Gibson system on the truck.You can find some sound bytes on the internet for different Mustang exhaust notes to get an idea of what I am talking about.
