Corsa: Pace or Touring??

A local guy is parting out a C5 and has a Corsa exhaust for sale but did not own the car so he does not know what model it is, is the any way to tell the difference?
Thanks

" you look inside the exhaust inlet at the over axle pipe connection and if it's straight through it's pacecar" was posted on this forum, circa 2010. I can't confirm accuracy of response.

This is correct, I have the Touring but blocked off the first passage near the inlet to "make" a pace model. If you have no hole inside the muffler just inside the inlet side, should be a pace/sport version.

I extended the the inlet pipe so that it was long enough to cover the hole.
