I agree with the CF members that the Touring is just a little louder than stock, except at WOT. I had the Borla Stingers and changed them out because of the drone & because it was too loud for my taste.

Yup the best way you're going to see what you like is to listen to them personally; both from the inside and outside the car AND at different driving speed (attend some local GTG). If you decide later to add headers or hi-flow Cats to which ever system you choose... be prepared for a louder DB.

I was torn between Corsa touring and TI's. I went with TI's because they didn't seem different enough to warrant the extra cost. However, I haven't actually heard them personally. That may change my mind

Do I understand this correctly??? The Indy's are louder at idle and WOT, but quieter when cruising in 5th or 6th?

I just had the Touring put on a month ago. They sound awesome! Like everyone else said. NO Drone at idle or freeway driving. Very impressive at WOT. If I want a little louder sound I will add headers. IMHO Buy them!

I love my Corsa Touring Pro Tips. They sound great with my setup. Just enough for me, but not over the top. No resonance and perfect at cruising. Nice cam sound at idle too.

I think they would be way too quiet if I did not have the heads/cam/LG pro Longtubes though...

Listen below.

I have Corsa Indy's with FI, H/C, Kooks no cats. Screams at WOT and WILL DRAW PLENTY OF ATTENTION. Not having cats makes the Indy's too loud to not draw the attention of police under WOT. I do love the sound, but may switch to touring to tone down the scream a bit Corsas sound great under acceleration whether touring or Indys

Default Corsa Touring replaced Borla Stingers

I took Borla stingers off and put Corsa Touring on . With new heads and cam (440 rwhp) the Borlas were to loud for me. The Corsa touring are louder than stock when you get on it with very good flow and quiet when you are just cruising.
