Default Difference from Flowmaster 40 Series & Super 40 Series?

Just wondering what the sound difference is between the two of these? I have heard that the Super 40 Series is Loud and I have hear that the Original 40 Series is louder. So which one is really the louder of the 2? I am lookin to dump it after the outlet from the muffler. I am plannin on running 2 Mufflers with an X-pipe. Let me know your thoughts please on which muffler is better in your opinion.
Thanks!

The original 40 series is louder, but doesn't flow as well as the delta flow 40 series. i was going to get the original 40 off ebay because they were so damn cheap but they are no longer making a single in single out in a 3". I think they are only making single in dual out in the original 40 series. So i got the delta flow 40 series, which im not sure if its a super 40 or not but paid $138 shipped for the pair off ebay. Not bad considering best local price was $84 each plus freight and 7-10 day wait. If you want the sellers name let me know and I will post it up for you.
