That high pitched sound is due to the X pipe. LS1. LS6. LS7. LS7, LT1, LT4 all sound nearly identical with the same exhaust. I have the Borla S-Type and X pipe and it sounds mean and deep at low RPMs. It is very loud at full throttle and does get a little exotic sounding. I think it sounds wonderful.
If you want an old school muscle car sound (dated IMO) then you should look for an H pipe and a flowmaster setup. You will lose a bit of power though, but probably not enough to notice.
