I am selling a Corsa 16TA2019 muffler that is 3” center-in and out. It was sold as the Touring option for a 14-18 5.3L but when I put it on, it sounded exactly the same as the Sport muffler that I had on my 2013 6.2L. Corsa then told me that it’s called Touring because its the quieter of the two optionsand on “some” vehicles the Touring is more like Sport level and the Sport level is more like Xtreme. So, I would consider this a Sport sound level muffler. It has about 200 miles on it, if that. I barely tightened the clamps when I put it on so there was zero damage when removing it, it still looks new.

This is a $650 muffler, I’m asking $400 + shipping (which I would expect to be $50-$100 depending on location).

Curious if you may be interested in a trade for a Borla Touring, that imho, is just too quiet... Not really even noticeable outside of two conditions: under load at higher rpm -and- startup in sub freezing temps w/zero ambient noise. One thing it is not: a cold start montser lol....and Ive got one tip exiting through rear 1/4 on each side with 5" tips...

Mine has more miles on it, prob even 12-14k?? Still mirror finish...
It is 3" in, dual 2.5" out though...
Seeing as we both have high end exhausts, and we're not crazy about the note they produce, on opposite ends of the spectrum? I thought it couldnt hurt to ask?
I should prob go listen to a Corsa Touring, but wanted to share what I first thought when I read your post...
I'll see if I can find a comparison?


EDIT:
Of course there arent any vids comparing the two "Touring" models and 100 comparing the loud models...go figure
All of these except the first are really short, most 30sec or less... The first is a relly good rep of the Borla in multiple phases and still only 2.5min long.

pretty good rep of Borla Tour on 5.3 here:

...and another: (skip to 50sec, I warned you)

WTHeck? Is this what your Corsa Tour sounds like? It might be too loud?

The Corsa Touring sounds louder than these two Sports, or at least the same as, given that they're hot starts:

Wow.... that is an interesting dynamic. I'm about to put long tube headers on, which will liven mine up for sure, but the Corsa Tour gets really lively with the exact LT Headers... Curious your thoughts on this message?

**listening through Denon AVRS540 BT with Bose Cubes & Sub + Genesis Media Labs Sub on one channel and 2- Pioneer tower speakers on the other (kind of an eclectic group of drivers lol, but highly effective for a garage shop)

I don’t need any trade at this point. I’m selling the truck this was purchased for. What’s funny is the Corsa I bought for the 2020 uses this same muffler and I had no idea until after I installed it. It is much quieter on an LT engine than an LS, which is very interesting.
