I am in love with the way the WRX and STIs sound. Like a hellicopter. Is there any way to make a J sound something like that.

Remember, they have Boxer motors which sound much different and also they are turbo'd.

Thats what i figured. But besides the fact. Where can i get a good sounding 4.5 inch tip muffler. I allready got the catback with a 3 inch can.. I think it looks to small.

I quoted you on it. 
But no, cams wouldn't make a difference, all they do is change how quickly and how much gas and air come into your engine and exhaust out. It would either amplify or speed up the sound of our exhausts. I think.
Actually you're slightly off. Your cams don't control how much fuel comes in. If you have a DOHC motor, you have an exhaust cam and an intake cam. The exhaust cam controls the amount of exhaust flow leaving your motor, the intake cam controls the amount of airflow coming in.
What zero or die was trying to talk about is when they make a "looping" noise and it sounds very deep. That sound will only sound like that at idle...when your accelerating, the sound will really depend on what kind of exhaust system but it does sound a tad deeper when accelerating.
Regardless, your car won't get the EXACT sound of an STI because it's a totally different motor than ours.

Buy a Magnaflow muffler and have one of their tips welded on.

They hit it early on. Nothing is going to sound like a boxer engine. Look up how the engine is layed out. The sound comes from the two cylinders being horizontally opposed; also the headers are unequal length, part of the reason it has such a distinct sound. WRXs and STis with equal length after markets lose part of that great sound.
