Does anyone know the difference in performance/sound between the GM Performance Exhaust (GM Part #19154703) vs. the GM Touring Exhaust (GM Part #17802015)? The Touring model seems to be more expensive but I have no clue.
Thanks...

That is what I was told - also the Touring has a chrome body - having a sport performance exhaust installed on my new H3!

I am looking for one to add performance but I personally don't want the rumble or added noise so I am not sure which one to buy. Any thoughts?

Isn't the GM Perf exhaust a corsa cat back?  I thought it was .. if so the sport is louder than the touring .. If you're not looking for rumble I'd say the later but I didn't think the sport was bad at all (had it for 2.5 years on a 5.7L vortec) ... throaty yes, overly loud with lots of drone .. no!  On the H3 I'm not sure .. haven't heard them .. Assuming this is infact Corsa go to www.corsaperf.com and see if they have audio clips for your vehicle.

I also heard they were made by Corsa. I had a chance to sit in a Brand new H3 with a GM Performance(sport) exhaust installed and rev it up a little- they wouldn't let me drive it. I thought it sounded real nice, not too loud. Looked underneath the truck and it looked like it was well made with nice chrome tips with the H3 logo on them.Everyone has a different take on sound and performance.GM eliminates the large muffler under the cab and keeps the one across the rear. Gibson eliminates the rear muffler. Magnaflow keeps both with their "straight thru" muffler design. It'll be hard to add performance without at least a little rumble. Most are quality products with varying degrees of "rumble" and performance and it's hard to choose without being able to hear each one. The one problem I have with GM Performance is that my dealer wanted $1250 installed. OUCH! The cheapest I saw on-line was about $900 shipped. If you bought one from a dealer I hope they gave you a good price.
We'll have to get all the H3 owners together and have a "Rumble Off".
Good Luck which whoever you choose!

GMPartsdirect.com has three different models:
For the H3 Sport Exhaust (aftermarket)
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=10033001
For the H3 GM Touring Exhaust
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results.cfm?singlepart=1&partnumber=17802015
For the H3 GM Performance Exhaust

They all seem fairly easy to install, no welding, just clamps. I can't find any information on their sound. Would I have to get any re-tuned on the H3 if I purchased one on these?  Sorry I just do not have much experience with exhaust systems.
Thanks...

The Performance Exhaust System looks pretty nice in the pic, I am wondering if it is kind of a smoked color like the pic or is it just the pic that makes it look dark.

Oh yeah I saw that and the tips aren't cheap.
I am just trying to increase HP without much noise. I like a quiet muffler, don't need to sound like a Formula One car. Just my personal taste.
And I assume with any muffler change I would have to get things retuned, is that correct?

Hey Sandy,
Yes I have seen that site, sometimes their stuff is out of stock but their prices are much cheaper than others. I really like the H3 engraved tips.
Are you installing yourself?

Damn, $1250!?  That's pretty high .. think I paid $789 for the one I had on the Avalanche. 

I wouldn't pay anyone to do the install on these ... if you can turn a wrench you can install these yourself.  It took me all of 45 mins laying on the garage floor when I did it. 

Here you go - Exhaust sound :-)  http://www.corsaperf.com/hummerh3.htm

I had them install as part of the purchase deal - picked it up this afternoon - just got back in - it does rumble like my old 01 C5 Vette Vert - only has one of the tips installed - should have the other tomorrow!
