You're going to have to define "bark". I don't have a Shelby, but my '65 fastback was running a pretty well built street motor and I was running Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers and 24" glasspacks with side exiting exhaust. That's what I consider bark, but maybe you're looking for something a little more tame. I used to be able to set off car alarms by running up the RPM's in first gear and driving close to the parked cars!
The fastback is torn down right now to be redone. I swapped the exhaust to my '65 GT coupe, and it sounds completely different. I already knew, as I'm sure everyone on here does, that the motor makes a huge difference in the way the exhaust sounds, but wow! Night and day! The coupe sounds throatier, but nothing like that system sounded on the fastback. The swap is only temporary because the coupe's previous owner had put together a pretty awful exhaust system, complete with cheesey Pep Boys exhaust tips. I had to get it off of there just to uncork the motor and see what it had (not much). It does look pretty silly, though... side exiting exhaust on a factory GT with two empty holes in the rear valance.
Anyway, if you want something really raspy, I loved the glasspacks, but they're not fun on long drives if that's how you plan to use it.
