Sport or Touring?

Which would you choose? Im going to buy my exhaust system here in the next week or so. Ive heard videos on the touring and the sport and they both sound great. What is the difference and which one would you choose?

oh ya what in the world is up with the shipping and handling and tax in gmpartsdirect with this exhaust! 170 bucks!!!

That charge may make me change my mind and go with the Magnaflow from Modernperformance for 480 shipped. Well see what you guys have to say first.

I personally like the touring, it has a nice deep tone, yet it is very tame and doesnt get to loud. The sport is not out of control by any means, I just like a more quiet exhaust, with knowing it increased the output of the car.

i wouldn't say that until you've tried it. the sport imo sounds tight. i got it cause it is louder and more aggressive. why add a tamed aftermarket exhaust? if you are adding for small gains and sound go big or go home. and, for all the critics that have heard internet sound clips of the sport system i can tell you first hand its throaty (loud) and crisp (not ricey).

I'm undecided as well

I would like loud just to say "yeah, I got something" and then I'd like it kinda toned down to keep it "asleep" i.e. sleeper car. I dunno which way I am gonna go. I have time to make a decision before I have the dough set aside for the purchase. I'm also waiting on the official Corsa sound clips. Oh, and if you are gonna buy it, I'd recommend TTR. Good deal delivered quick.

Chevypowereds sport kinda sounds a bit raspy to me when he is taking off at the very begining of his video.

Go with sport, not raspy at all, Except when it is not up to temp, like when you first start the car and exhaust is cold, but this is with most exhausts, only lasts about the first 3 minutes after start up. The sport sounds awesome! And the first time I went under a bridge! Man that is the sweetest sound a man can hear!

I have never heard the touring version in person. But, I have to agree that the sport system sounds simply intoxicating!

I wish I could hear the sport. I mean i heard chevypowereds but he has a header on his. Ive heard yours but you didnt do a fly by at wot or a cruise from outside.

I did hear TTRs dyno run with the touring and man it sounded so sweet.

I'm amazed at how the majority of people want a louder exhaust...

All the video clips of the sport make it sound like ass, in my opinion. I've heard the touring in person and it sounds great, I'd go with that one.
