I have them and they sound very nice. Better idle and louder @ WOT.
Then I added LT's, hi flow cats, and x-pipe and they are TERRIFIC. Aggressive idle but scream @ WOT. In fact, I would not want the Touring now.
If you're planning headers in the future I highly recommend you stick with the Touring system. If not, probably would go with Indy's.

Tourings are great if you run headers, cam, ect. Interior resonance tends to bother some with modded engines, so they look for a quieter exhaust.
Other than stock exhaust and Ti's, Tourings are the quietist. If you want some rumble, you may not be pleased with Tourings...too quiet. Get Indy's or go to B&B's, will give a little more. Those with automatics also don't like some interior noise at certain RPM's, and go with Tourings also.

As stated previously, the touring version is very close to stock. Having said that, my question is why spend the money for something that produces a sound close to stock? I have the Indy version and am more than happy with them. I might suggest you visit the Corsa Web sit. There you can actually hear the sound (atleast close too) of both products. Good luck with your decision.

Touring sounds better than stock 
and give the SS custom look. Mine sounded better/louder until I added the X-pipe, that seemed to quiet them down and got rid of any popping sounds, but balanced the sound out some = the exotic sound, as reffered to

BTW the Indy's where chosen as the ones everyone liked.
Remember, I used the word CLOSE. Each of us has our own degree of what we hear. Can only say what went one that day with the folks present.

I also have the Touring exhaust but since I have added LT headers I'm glad that I don't have anything any louder. As mentioned above, if you plan to go to headers sometime, then the touring will be just fine. If not, then the previous advice seems to be spot on to me. Enjoy!

I have the 3.5" pro tip touring CORSA's. Crisp idle, purrfect at cruise and for me, plenty LOUD at WOT. I shopped and shopped and listened and looked for months before I pulled the trigger. NO regrets. LMPerformance had the best deal at about $950 shipped. Mike at Performance Exhaust in Norman, OK did the install for $100. I love mine and so do my neighbors.

I made a quick idle clip of my exhaust a couple months back. It has a different sound at idle, but sounds unbelievable at WOT.
Corsa Touring, X-pipe, no cats, long tube headers
BTW, if Touring is too tame for you, ditch the stock manifolds and cats.

I have the Corsa Touring with long tube headers and x-pipe. Nice sound at part throttle, can definietly hear it at WOT. No drone or bothersome resonance at cruise. I personally would not want it louder. Best bet is to listen to several before you decide. The headers make a significant difference is loudness.
