Default throttle response

I was looking at installing the Vitesse throttle control however, I am not so interested in the acceleration of the engine, but I would really like it to decelerate like and older car with a carburetor, I like that noise it makes when you decelerate fast.
Please help with any ideas

mine does it with the ZR1 exhaust system on my LS3.

ps. you will NEVER get the same throttle response as a car that has a cable.

All GM cars and trucks have a system in place to save fuel called "DFCO" Deceleration fuel cut-off---Self explanatory--fuel cuts off when decelerating based and triggered by manifold vacuum-----The old school sound is when decelerating unburnt fuel is deposited into your exhaust and is ignited by the exh. heat---Sort of a pop pop pop gurgle----To make your car decelerate like an old sch car a tune is required to DELETE DFCO----

That sound on decel...Snap, Crackle, POP...Love it! It's definitely a sound I love to hear. It really has a lot to do w/the tuning & the Headers/Exhaust combo. I had some big time decel popping W/Corsa Extreme's on my 2008 Corvette. I also have it a good deal on my 2013 Grand Sport w/Akrapovic. Both cars have Longtube headers & catted x-pipe, so that might be the ticket.

Stock A6 LS3 with NPP Mufflers , With the NPP's open they make the coolest rumble and pop on decel especially with the rev matching of the Automatic
