I put the Corsa touring cat back on my 05 Tahoe 5.3L. It was very nearly the same sound as stock, though I felt the responsiveness.
I now have an 07 Denali 6.2L and the stock exhaust is louder than my Corsa was on my Tahoe.
So the question is, if I get the Touring for the Denali, will it be louder than stock? A little more sound would be nice, but I am afraid the Sport will over do it.

^ No luck on Youtube?

IMO, I would just changeout the muffler to Corsa Touring and leave the stock piping. Should be relatively cheap and you can't go wrong with that setup.

The muffler alone from Corsa is over $400

Geez that is expensive just for the muffler. I was looking at the Corsa dB Black Series at Jegs, and I found them for just over $200. But this model would be too loud for you.

I'd definitely go with the Corsa Sport. It's just a little throatier at idle and it's not audible in the cab at cruising speeds. It comes alive and sounds like a beast at WOT. The Touring will not give you much of a difference in sound to justify the $$$.

I was debating between the 2 and ultimately went with the Sport and am extremely happy with it. I didn't want it to be overly loud either.

I prefer the touring. Keeping the noise down to the minimum , almost as close as our stock and having a aggresive noise when you step on it. My priority isnt how loud it is but what it'll do for the performace of your vehicle. The touring is quiet at idle but really comes alive at acceleration. I also believe it is more luxury than a more noticeable exhaust where you are advertising that you had a exhaust installed. Honestly, most people dont appreciate the noise that come out from your car and consider rice.

I found a used Sport on eBay for $300 and I bought it. It has the big dual tips coming out under the rear bumper which I like, rather the more common exit behind the RR wheel. As stated, the factory exhaust piping is already awesome. Big 3" and smooth bends so purely for performance, I think only the muffler needs to be replaced. I wouldn't have been happy to pay $1K, but for my price, it's good.
It would have been easy to install if the rear tire would have come out, but it wouldn't budge(I'll be seeing the dealer about that). So we cut off the old system to remove it.
When we first started it, I was standing behind it and it was rather loud and raw sounding. I didn't like it right then. But after driving it home, I liked it a lot more. Barely different when easy on the pedal and quite a bit louder when wide open. No drone so far, but I haven't gone freeway cruising yet.

we have Corsa Sport on the wife's Burban. Although she only has the 5.3, it still sounds badass. I wouldn't trust any other exhaust. Corsa for life!

Here's the video of it:
