First off, slow down and type so we can fully understand you. Second, your Camaro will NEVER sound like a 5.0 Mustang. If you want that sound you'll have to buy a 5.0 Mustang. The Mustang has true dual exhaust utilizing an H-pipe and two mufflers. You can however, get a really nice powerful sound from your Camaro's 305. Headers make a difference, but not that much of one. Just get a nice High-Flow cat from Catco, Dynomax, etc. and a 3-inch system from Flowmaster, Hooker, etc. I have a direct fit 3" high-flow Catco cat mated to a 3" Flowmaster American Thunder System. Sounds great on my 305 TBI!

Whats the deal with 5.0's. They have good exaust but I have beaten many of them and they were way louder than I.
Its funny, but with my headers and no muffler I sound decent. To bad my pacesetter headers are not as good on the collector side.

5.0s can sound nice.. WAYYYYYY nicer than weird hollow sounding 4.6s. Too many 5.0 guys run flowmasters though, so they all sound the same. The reason that 5.0s sound the way they do is because it's a true dual setup (h-piped) on a low displacement (comparatively) motor. Not many people put true duals on a 5 liter motor, so it's usually just fox bodies that sound like that.

True duals on a bigger engine, like a 350 or a stroker motor however sounds incredibly awe-inspiring.
