Exhaust that sounds like an m5's exhaust in my ls400, is it a possibility?

Its the most prominent exhaust I've heard on an LS to date.
On exhaust I like low rumble, I like smoothness, and clarity.
For example, I don't like gargle when the backpressure is positive (press gas, release (the gargle comes in),.. press gas it goes away. ) -- I don't like it highly muffled, where its loud, but you can't hear the engine characteristics.
I like a smooth transition, that is consistent from 0RPM to 6k -- That has the sound clarity to show off the 1UZ's pretty singing voice. To show through sound the mechanical nature of the 4 liter.
With all that said, I'll never put exhaust on my LS, because I just don't want it to be loud. If I do exhaust I go all the way,.. and make it sound wicked. I'd go something like the link I did, maybe more. Which has no place on a 9second 0-60 car at best
--Though the looks of the exhaust are great..
But what is the benefit from the exhaust some of you have done, that is hardly any louder than stock? I'm curious.
I can understand getting a slightly bit louder rumble,.. but doing a full catback, that sounds almost stock - Am I missing something?
I'll put on some nice tips, something like you have on yours Steveski -- Other than that it'l be stock. (Unless, there is some nice performance and fuel economy from removing, or changing something) --
