If you're talking about the LFA, Yamaha was involved with essentially all aspects of engine design, not just exhaust AFIK. This V8 is a Yamaha engine full whack. Yamaha obviously makes some killer bike engines (not to mention generators, boat engines), but has been involved in car engines for a long time, including the Supra, old SHO, etc.
Sound is aesthetic and personal preference. The LFA is probably my favorite sounding engine on the market in a super car overall, sounds like a 90s era F1. As for V8s generally available, and just referring to sound, it'd be an old school BBC probably. I DON'T especially care for the sound of this V8, but it's obviously a pretty gnarly and tightly packaged engine.
