Big cam. High compression. Open Headers. Lot's of work on the owners part. That's what it takes to make your car sound like that. If you just want to make your car sound cool, get a Hooker catback.

Get a free flow exhaust headers and a cat-back. I'd recommend the Hooker cat-back , sound clip is in the sign, but if you want loudness of over tone then a single chamber flow would be good.
What you're talking about the sound of not smooth, is called a lopey cam, which you'll need to get a different cam for.

My exhaust sounds awesome and Im happy with it when WOT
it is very loud.. but just sitting there idle its not very loud.
I would like for it to rumble a bit louder at idle, and real lopey
like its gonna die, but not because its running like crap.. I guess
it must be the CAM as you guys were saying

The duration of the cam causes the "dying" sound. You don't want to much of a duration cause it will interfere with your brakes and accessories.
