I prefer to think of it as sounding like an indy car on steroids

No.
Much like an I4, boxer 4 or 6, V6, or any other configuration, the V10 is a V10 and will never sound like a V8.
To put it another way:
No amount of makeup will ever make Jennifer Aniston look like Angelina Jolie.

I have also spent a lot of time looking for a muffler for my V10. I know that it will never sound like an 8, I'm just looking to get a throaty sound.

My 09 F550 sounds great. I do know it was sent to Manning to have exhaust modification done before delivery. What they did, I don't know!

+1 for the glass packs but, the longest glass packs you can get. The short ones sound too much like ultra high performance race inspired $200 1990 Honda Civic with $400 shiny muffler coat hangered to the rear bumper.

From: at the truck pulls
I've had two trucks with the V-10.
First one I had a splitter put in right after the cat, had a pair of Flowmaster 50's and then twin pipes out of both sides. It sounded great outside, the closest I have ever heard a V-10 sound like an 8. Bad part was I tow a trailer and after 4 hours on the highway your ears start hurting from the cab noise.
New truck got a Flowmaster 70 series. It's the only one they recommend and its not bad, wish it was louder though. Pulling the camper doesn't drive you crazy anymore though.
Whatever you do make sure the volume of air you are pushing out can be EASILY flowed out. You wouldn't want to hurt performance for sound, well I don't think.
