I'm liking the Delta 40 for the Alero, but which is the best for the Alero?

Standard 40
Delta 40
Super 40

I'm still thinking the Delta 40, but the Super claims to have the same benfits with lower interior noise. I don't like the bit of a whine in the standard 40's tone

From the Flowmaster web page:

Delta 40
This two chamber design incorporates Flowmasters patented "Delta Flow" technology. The "Delta" deflectors result in increased scavenging for better performance and reduced interior resonance over the standard 40 series with a nice growl outside the vehicle. Sounds great on late model performance cars with catalytic converters. Constructed of 16 gauge aluminized steel and fully mig-welded for maximum durability.

Super 40
The Super 40 is our latest development utilizing "Gen II Delta Flow" technology. This gets you the best of both worlds of Sound and Performance. The Super 40 has that "deep powerful" sound of the original 40 series but with all the benefits of performance and low interior resonance from the "Delta Flow technology."

i have a delta 40 and love it but i really cant compare it to anything cause i havent heard another alero with an exhaust. Its got a nice rumble on the low end but at high rpm at wot i can still hear mostly intake. Its loud enough to get noticed and tell others that your car is not stock but quiet enough not to cause problems or get annoying.
