Symmetrical Exhaust

I always figured, if you were to have an exotic sounding F-Body you'd have to do the following:
run a 1 into 2 merge collector (3" into a pair of 2") off of each header, and route it tucked up, running 2 pipes on each side into 4 bullet style mufflers (or small chambers from classic chambered), and straight out the back ...
you'd have something unique, difficult to do, and would sound insane

It's due to several key factors:
1. They are ALL DOHC
2. Some are V12's
3. ALL the Ferrari V8's are single plane V8's and have an equal firing order, where as most other V8's (Ls1 included) have an uneven firing order.
It is point 3 that makes the biggest difference. And thus it is physically impossible to make an American OHV push rod V8 sound even remotley like a modern Ferrari V8.[/quote]
If you want a more exotic sounding exhaust tone then running a dual exhaust with an X pipe and some bullet mufflers is probably the closest you'll get.

I am also wonder if Symmetry has anything to do with it all if this is not the way to go would anybody please tell me the best way to get the Ferrarish sound in the Camaro.

I think my car sounded rather exotic with the Corsa cat-back. I think that's as close you are gonna get without something custom.
Now with adding headers and catted-Y, I'm not real sure what it sounds like. Modified exotic maybe. It's just evil sounding now.

LOL...
like mentioned above..
The only way you'll get a ferrari sound is w/ a Ferrari engine...
Look at the Rolex 24...the Vettes have some high-tech stuff done to them and they still don't sound exotic...its all in the motor..
why do you think the 5.0 stangs have that distict tone.
If you wanna sound diffrewnt,throw on a Mangnacharger and hear it scream..or maybe a set of hairdryers(turbos)
other than that,your stuck w/ the poor old american sound

Corsa = exotic sounding. When it gets a H/C/headers it is exotic/hellish sounding. This is probably your best bet, when you start custimizing it gets expensive and you never know exactly how it will sound cause each TD exhaust is different. Find someone in your area with Corsa to get a better feel for it in person.
