go to thier site. they have sound clips of both. there is a noticable difference on the sound clips, which means there is an even more conspicuous difference in person. 
oh yeah, and get out to a vette club meeting or event and take a listen for yourself.

noticable difference. Touring is more of between sport and stock. It sounds great at highway speeds, no noise. Acceleration also sounds good, and headers and an Xpipe and that thing gets LOUD but sounds awsome.

I personally find the Corsa Sport too loud for me in city driving below 40 MPH with an A4 doing a lot of stop and go. On the highway they aren't bad. I am installing a touring kit this weekend and should have a better idea of the difference then.
I found the Sport sound clips on Corsa's website don't sound at all like they do in the real world.

I have the Corsa Touring set-up on my '03 convertible. Can't say I care much for them at idle, but they do sound good at speed. And as Turbooo2u noted, there's no drone, or resonance, back in the cockpit at steady highway speed. Good luck.

I have the 'touring' on my C6, the idle is not as loud as I wanted, but everything else is good.

Thanks everyone, I went with the sport and couldn't be happier and in fact not sure why anyone would want the Touring except maybe if you had headers and HiFlow cats.
I had Corsa install the Sport with the x pipe so I've personally seen the Touring which is two pup mufflers (still straight through) right behind the cats which obviously changes the the length of the stock H pipe so Corsa supplies a shorter H pipe and no X pipe.

I installed the touring kit this weekend and I think it solved the problem. Anyone with a hearing problems would also appreciate the touring. The Sports add more noise inside until you get to cruising speed.
