Just put a set on my 04 Vert and love the new sound. Nice little rumble at idle, but somewhat aggressive when you get on it. Not a whole lot louder than stock, just nice. Go for it.

For what its worth replacing the stock exhaust with corsa touring exhaust is like replacing stock manifold's with Shortie header's, not worth it unless it's just for look's.There the quietest system out there along with your stock system and they won't rattle your brain.Please save your money and get a GHL system.(muscle car sound and no interior drone)and they're cheaper too.

Running a set of Corsa Pace Car, lots of miles on 'em with no resonance. I just enjoy the sound of them every time I drive! Lots of choices...good luck!

Had the pace car edition but after the headers, blackwing & cam they were too load for this 41 yr old so I switched to the touring edition. I've never had any resonance with either.

I had the tourings on my stock '99 - and moved to Pace (Indy's). No resonance issues, quiet in the cabin on cruise, and nice and loud on WOT

Actually, I couldn't agree more.

The Indy series needs the X-pipe unless you like it sounding like a motor boat and tons of popping. Love my Indy series with the X-pipe though.

In April, I was in the same situation. Couldn't decide between Touring and Indy. Listened to both and the decision was easy. Forget the Touring as it's no better than stock. I put on the Indy's and kept the standard H-pipe. I love it. No cabin noise at low RPMs. When you get on it, they roar. I do get a fair amount of popping on decel which I love. If it's not for you, also put on an X-pipe. It will eliminate alot of popping. Also, the Corsa tips look great! I just put on an exhaust plate which looks great sitting between the Corsa tips!

I've got Corsa Touring and love 'em. I can hear my CDs at idle or cruise, and my exhaust under throttle. Just what I want.

I just had Corsa Touring installed, they sound great with my Kooks headers. A little more aggressive at idle and low RPMs, when you put your foot into it they roar, but no issues inside the cabin at all. I just cruised from Las Vegas to Portland, I had no problem listening to music or talking on my cell phone headset.

I love the sound, I wasn't looking for that big block muscle car basso profundo, just a crisp, aggressive note.
