This is a relatively high displacement moderately high revving flat plane crank.
It will have a deeper throatier growl (than a ferrari) no matter what you do to the exhaust.
The largest displacement v8 ferrari made was a 4.5 liter in the 458 italia and that is still quite a bit smaller than the 5.2 in the GT350.

It's pretty complicated actually. Lots of factors, not just about flat plane vs. cross plane, although that in itself makes a BIG difference. Firing order really makes the difference in sound - and firing order is dependent on crank configuration
Also manifold design (greatly affects exhaust note) is dependent on firing order/crank configuration among other things, so it's all related really.
Think about old Esprit V8, small displacement flat plane crank (3.5L), and didn't sound anywhere near as good a a Ferrari V8, even if you removed the turbos altogether - firing order for an F360 is 1-8-3-6-4-5-2-7, firing order for an Esprit V8 is 1-5-3-7-4-8-2-6.
