Does anyone know how to make this exhaust noise? I saw this video on youtube and the car sounds so beast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBLjsOtkcmc . I was wondering if there was an exhaust system that would make the car sound similar when it is being revved. The thing about open headers is that alot of time theres a rattle to it when its in idle like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-oSi...eature=related . Is it the specific year of the trans am that make that sound? if so what year? And is it possible to do it without open headers? I know borla catback comes a bit close to it but is there something closer? Thanks guys for the help.
If you haven't heard open headers in person, you don't know what you are looking for.
To say it sounds absolutely terrible would be an understatement.. Loud is not good. To get that sound, it would have to be loud.. Too loud (coming from someone who ran 1 chambers before the axle for 2 years in a DD).

Just run straight pipes. no muffler, i did that for about 5 years on my old 383 LT1, loved every minute of it. only reason i put a muffler on was to experiment, but im going straight piped again with my LS build.

Thanks guys for the answers 
. I never knew open headers was that loud. Also Dynomax exhaust sounds like its farting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31Mk7LyQzac why is it some cars sound like that, especially the ones with over 400 rwhp? And how would I avoid it? I like the beast noise when the open headers in the first video is revved do you guys know an exhaust that doesn't fart and makes that intimidating noise?

Go through a one chamber/race muffler but more importantly a good merge or xpipe and it won't have that sound.
That "fart" noise sounds better in person than open headers.

No muffler makes the car sound like a beat to **** farm truck.
You can't rely solely on youtube videos for exhaust sound. Don't get me wrong I understand that you can't have access to 50 different LS1's with different setups in person. That first video just doesn't sound like open headers in person.

Want an awesome sounding loud as ***** muffler? Flowmaster one chamber.
Bullets/sweet thunders/spiral flows/etc keep near the same tone/quality (or lack of) open headers, they just quiet it down to a somewhat tolerable level.
A muffler changes the complete tone of the exhaust but, depending on the muffler, doesn't reduce the noise much more than a bullet style.
If you have ever heard two similar setups, one with a bullet/spiral/sweet etc and the other with a 1 chamber back to back/side by side/etc.. I would have your ears checked if you didn't think the 1 chamber had WAY better tone/quality than any of the others.
Fwiw, I have heard a lot of exhaust setups. Regardless stock cam, huge cam, stroker motor, xpipe, ory, etc.. I have not heard a better sounding, while still flowing awesome, setup than with a 1 chamber. Me and 3 of my other friends run those and only those.. We have ran a few other things but immediately switch back to a setup with a 1 chamber.
I ran open headers from my house to the muffler shop when I put mine on. I'm glad I did ONCE. But never again. Get a catback with a tone you like and an electric cutout and adjust as you want from there for volume, imo.

It was ironic that someone mentioned a cutout being on his truck in this thread.. My first thought was all he needs is a bed with hydraulics to dump rock and it would match perfect.

True. I love 1 chambers. Do you have a sound clip of your car?
