Default c5 z06 sound

I have TSP true duals with sweet thunders and pacesetters as of now, but the sound of a bolt-on c5 z06 sounds so much more brutal. What is it about the car that makes it sound like that? I tried to search but nothing came up that was relevant. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Pete

It's the longtube design and x-pipe. Hard to make an f-body sound like a corvette, due to the different twists and turns the headers make from one another.
