You need a muffler designed for either
a 5 Cylinder inline (Mercedes)
or for V10 (Volkswagen diesel V10 or Ford gasoline V10)
These special 5/10 cylinder mufflers have a special sized 'Helmholtz Resonator' section of the muffler. These mufflers will probably work better if you mount them as far back as possible,
with little length of tailpipe.
As you have already found
the simple straight through performance mufflers
will all sound raspy with an odd rhythm
If you don't want to spend much additional money
consider buying 'resonators' and putting them mid way in the lengths of tail pipe you have.
Know a friend or family member who is extremely good at math?
Here is how GM trained student engineers on how to get rid of both exhaust (and intake) noise:
