There is an answer! I felt the same as you, but I found what made ME happy.
Balenger (SP?) headers, no cats, Corsa Exhaust. It was all 3" stuff from the collector back. Leave both sets of resonators on the Corsa system. It was deep and it was loud! It was one that could be heard 2 miles away, just like you want to find.
Now that was on a car with massive head work, a HUGE cam, 3" modified air intake box, with 3" tubes, 70mm t-bodies, a bunch more, etc.... But it was THE BEST sounding Viper out there, best sounding as in it drew a crowd every time it was started.
So if you are bone stock, the headers, no cats and corsa, it may not sound the same, I can't say.
