I have the 6-inch magnum-plus, and love 'em! They're a little quieter than the 5-inch magnums, yet still loud enough to annoy the neighbors, and they sound incredible at WOT There's some interior drone at around 1,800, but it's not too bad.
The magnum series is not nearly as expensive as the bullet series. IMO, the only downside to the magnum-plus is the tips--you can't get four tips, only two.

I have the Ghl bullets with the Ghl x-pipe. There is still some burble on decel but not popping. They sound great and I have not noticed any resonance with mine at any speed, not that I can notice anyway. What really improved the sound more was when I installed the Halltech Stinger. It gave it a more throaty sound. I'd say you couldn't go wrong with any of the Ghl's. My gas mileage has suffered ever since I put them on and I love every second of it.

Finally, should I go with an X-pipe or leave the stock H-pipe on and who has the best prices around for GHL's??

I have an A4 and did go with the X Pipe You may want to stay with the H Pipe,, if you like it then you are $$ ahead.
