my buddy has a 99 cobra with bbk long tubes and off road h pipe into flowmasters and it sounds amazing.. They sound so loud and deep yet refined through all rpms.. i think the cams have alot to do with it.. Although if youve heard a cammed 2v or 4v they sound a lot more like cammed ls1s than 4.6's

Add a twin turbo kit exhaling through open downpipes. Here's a soundclip.

Well, I PERSONALLY think that my stock-internal LS1 with LT's, no cats, 3" H-pipe, & Flowmaster 1-chambers (10 series) dumped before the axle sounds much better than most 4.6L's I've heard. I mean, the true duals + Flowmasters makes my car sound NOTHING like any LS1 I've ever heard. 
But it's hit or miss with the 4.6 IMO. Some sound really good and others are super raspy (worse than a lot of LS1's, LOL).
And you can rarely ever argue that the LT1 & 5.0 are the best sounding motors when set-up right.

I respect truly fast cars no matter what the are, You give me a 8 second hyundai and I'd drive it with pride. 
It's going to be tough since they have that goofy firing order. But I will say that http://www.ls1sounds.com/true_duals/...rner-dumps.wma (link cws T/A provided) sounds a lot like one. If I didn't know any better, I would say that was a 'Stang. 
Mustangs have that racy sexy sound when X-pipe and 4v....however I still think any LS1 with TD and mine in a way sound scary when WOT. There are times when I give it a nice throttle blip and I think that sounds pretty good

You all know that sound, i heard true duals can get me there but from the clips ive heard i dont think so. i have lt headers no cats 3 inch y and all the way back to a magnaflow...ideas guys?
It's like saying make this Burgur King cheese burgur taste the same as a McDonalds cheese burgur. They may both eseentially be the same thing, but they a very very different.
OHC engines always have a different characteristic to OHV. And it's personal preferance to which sounds the best. Personally I love the lope of a cammed OHV push rod V8. A OHC can never replicate this.
If you really want that sound then you'll have to get the right engine to make it. Jaguar and BMW V8's can make a nce noise too along the lines of the Mustang sound, again because of design and OHC valve train.
People complain about the LS1, but I really don't know why. I think it sounds very good. This even comparing it to Rover OHV V8, Jaguar V12 OHC and some s197 Mustangs with loud pipes.
On tick over I certainly think the LS1 sounds better than the modular engine. But that's just personally preference.
Dont get me wrong, I like my cars sound at WOT/Track. Im kinda disappointed about its around town sound. My set up is Edelbrock LT No Cats 3" all the way to magnaflows. Its soo quiet below 3500 rpm. I would be happier with a consistant sound through the rpm range. I know I like the way my car sounds to some true dual cars Ive heard.
Old roomate had the best sounding Mustang ever. It had BBK LTs, Bassani X-pipe with mangaflow dumps. Damn 01 Cobra sounded like a pissed off Ferrari. I like my exhaust setup. Kook LTs, custom Y-pipe into the Mufflex 4" exhaust with a flowmaster muffler with a single exit.
