Corsa Touring Conversion
I think I will go ahead and convert the Sport system I have to a Touring. I have heard the sound clips on the Corsa website and it sounds like there is a big difference in the level of loudness the two systems make.
One website claims that its a 3-decibel difference, but listening to the sound clips it seems more then that. Either way it still sounds better then the OEM system ever did. My understanding is that the Touring system is legal where the sound limit is 95 decibels. If that is the case then I wonder how loud the Sport system is.
Just wanted some feedback on the Touring set-up. Thanks.

I thought the sports were too close to stock, can't imagine how quiet the touring are. This is by far the quietest exhaust system I've ever had. Nice on the highway, and good sound at idle, wish there was just a little more note around town. But, its all a compromise.

I have the Corsa Sports on mine and love them! Nice sound at idle, quiet at cruise and kinda loud when you hammer it.
I had the Corsa Indy on my C5 and it was similiar but sounded a lot louder to me. My son still has the C5 and I drive it now and then. The first thing I notice is that it sounds a lot louder than my C6 with the Sports.
