just wondering what the differenece between the 2 is? on CED they are rated as having the same gains.

is it just the sound that is different? im getting a GMPP Performance one installed sat morning.

 

performance is a deeper sound. it sounds the best by far. you will love it.

 

Performance has a nice deep tone, not too loud at all
Touring is just a tiny bit louder than stock, and sounds stock

 

above is correct^^^^^^ and for those who havent said it yet please use the search button

 

Let's put it this way: if you want a much louder sound, go with the PERFORMANCE.
The TOURING, as said before, is only a little louder than stock.

I bought the touring, honestly expecting it to be louder.
But overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

 

I bought the performance... GREAT SOUND!!! I like the torque too.

 

You are gonna love your car's sound after you put the performance exhaust on. I always give her a little shot when I go in a bridge just to hear that bark.

 

If I could go back, I would get the sport performance. The touring is a little to soft for me.

 

Fascinating, because I have the touring on my 2.4 and it isn't just a "bit" louder, it's noticable although it isn't obnoxious. Also it's a lot deeper than stock. If the performance is much louder, it wouldn't suit me at all. But then, I'm an Old Fart

Makes me wonder if I got the Performance by getting the P/N's mixed up?

 

most of the guys on this thread have the sc version (2.0 thread) so maybe its the differnt engines thats the factor. I have the 2.4 and I am planning on getting the touring for performance gains only.... I dont really like that loud noise either.

 

Maybe this will help you choose. You can hear the three exhaust sounds

• Stock
• Touring
• Performance

Are you guys actually feeling noticeable gains from the exhaust?

 

thats the only sounds clip i've heard its just hard to get a real feel for the sound. and other than that, those crappy vids i can barely hear the exhaust up on youtube.

ah well, sure i'll like it. my main concern was it being f'ing stupid loud inside the car when im driving long distance in the HWY.

 

CED clips are on an auto... I've got the Touring and you can barely hear it when cruising inside the cab - I've got some vids of the Touring on another thread but it looks like you've already made your decision! Its nice to hear the new exhaust though, your mpg will most likely go down for the next couple tanks of gas

 

I can't tell whether I'm getting gains or whether the sound is giving me a rush...lol
Either way, I'm happy!
Jonel posted a thread where he got 12hp off the Performance exhaust on his SS/SC.
So...there's definitely gains!

 

right on!

 

well my stage 2 and sport exhaust are all installed.

stage 2=pure sex
sport exhaust is loud, a bit louder than i'd like but its too late now. doesnt sound ricey wich is a plus for sure.

but with my newly installed injen intake, gmpp exhaust and stage 2 this car feels like a whole new one. and the blower sound!... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I have the performance exhaust , it's alittle loud for me . I'd rather have the touring.

 

As far as I can tell, all the parts are exactly the same except the muffler part.....and you can decide on either tip for them. I think the gain would be equal.

 

hey... I'll trade ya the muffler... it's the only difference between the 2...

 

From that sound clip I personally like the Touring sound better. Whenever I finally get my new job and get a SS/SC I think I will go with the Touring.

 

My touring is on its way I'll let you know how it is in a couple weeks.

 

if anybody has one or the other, they can post it here.....o do a video of own.
