Bullets vs GHL with headers!!
I HAD the B&B route 66 along with my LG headers, X pipe and high flow cats. It was to quiet for me so I traded a friend who had B&B bullets. Now the car sounds mean as HELL but the interior drone is unbearable. I've heard that the GHL sounds just as good but has alomost NO drone at all. Can anyone verify this?

Drone or no drone
I have GHL's on my '06 vert A6. There is a tiny, tiny bit of what I call drone in several gears untill the exhaust warms up. After about 10 min of driving, it sounds fantastic. Damn gas milage went to hell in a hand basket real quick though. 
I have more darn fun ripping the A6 up and down through the gears now. 
GHL makes two different exhaust systems for the C6 now based on if you have an M6 or, a A6. And, that may change to after I get my car to Mesa, AZ so that Brian and Jeff can hear the A6 vert exhaust on the car first hand.

GHL on 2005 A4 C6 Vert
I put GHL on my wifes 2005 A4 C6 vert. We do get some drone from 1500 rpm - 1800 rpm -- -- we didnt experience this with stock system.
Overall at idle, mid and WOT we get that great muscle car sound we wanted.

I know from talking with him that he has re worked the exhaust for the A6 so that it is different from the one for the M6. There may be a fix for your A4. Ultimately, there may have to be an exhaust for the four different C6 configurations.

Jster171, just make sure to hook up with Brian at GHL so he knows what configuration C6 you have. That way you end up with a built to order exhaust tailored to your car
