Default Best sounding exhaust setups?

Right now I have a flowmaster cat-back, bbk h-pipe with cats, and bbk shorty headers and I gotta say I really don't like the sound. It's just not deep enough for me, especially from inside the car. I've listened to some other flowmaster setups and it sounded pretty much the same, so it seems that would be the main thing to change. I've never really liked flowmaster all that much. Just any suggestions on what sounds good, I've heard some pretty badass stangs and mine just doesnt sound like those . Thanks in advance.

I have a Mac cat back, it sounds pretty good but it's got a terrible drone!!!
SLP now makes a cat back for foxes, you may want to try that. Pretty expensive though.

Well there are a few things,
1) flowmaster should be the "american thunder" series At least 2 1/2
2) The h-pipe needs to be an off road h pipe
3) you need headers not "exhaust maniflods"
If you have this you have one mean *** sounding car, and on a 5.0 flowmaster is the way to go.
