Here's a clip that I think gets pretty close. This is LS2 (6.0L aluminum V8) with 2.5" run-of-the-mill aluminized pipe, no crossover, 40-series Flowmasters("2-chambers" - YES I still call them that 
), and even with 1-5/8" shorty headers since I can't find long tubes to fit my application. 222/228/112 cam. Also I couldn't put the exhaust out the back because of space around the factory fuel tank. I think with long tubes, exhaust straight out the back it would be even more in the direction you guys are referring to. Fuel injection and improved head design has smoothed things out a little but there is not reason you can't get old-school sound IMO. I do still have a little more tuning to do but that's a fairly steady 800RPM idle. Might bump it down to 700-750 to make it sound a little meaner.
You need to listen to this on some decent speakers with a little bass to them to get the full effect..sounds like crap on a phone. The second video is from a slight angle so you can get more of an idea how much different the sound is straight out of the pipe. You get more of that sound waves bouncing off of metal effect(which i personally like)

Especially given that mine is a gen1 355 w/9.5:1cr and a 230/236 110 cam

That's good ol' Flowmasters bridging the gap! Won't impress the late-model or import guys but that's kinda the point.
Only setup that is more iconic/more recognizable to /me/ is 87-93 Fox-body Mustang LX 5.0 with stock shorties, a catless H-pipe, 2-chambers, and the 2.5" stainless tails all the way straight out the back. I can hear one of those literally a mile away. Sweet music. Sold my black on black coupe a couple of years ago. Still miss it. :'(
I hate to post someone else's video but it's the best one I could quickly find. Obviously the 40s and obviously this guy could get a better microphone but you get the idea. This sound is as "modern" as I'm willing to go:
