Oddly enough, in the 50 series the Delta Flow is rated as a lower interior tone with a higher exterior tone, which means it's louder outside the vehicle, but does not rattle the driver so much. The "Original" SUV/Performance 50 series is rated at a higher interior tone and a lower exterior. So, it actually rattles the driver more and the public less than the Delta. Makes me wonder if I'd rather get the deltas when the time comes.
In the 40 series, the Deltas are rated as lower interior and lower exterior tone compared to original. There are no Deltas in the 30 series. The 30 series and 50 series SUV/Performance mufflers are the exact same dimensions, so any car that can use one can use the other, as well as the 50 deltas, which are an inch thinner and a quarter inch less wide. The 30s are of course louder than the 50s.

I guess Toy-Yo-Yoys sewing machine motors are just to aggravating with the good old "Original" Flow Masters.
