Default Upgrades!!!!

So my wife said I'm allowed to get one upgrade to my 08 XLT. This is the first and probably the last(baby on the way) upgrade. I'm torn between an Edge evo programmer, a flowmaster American thunder cat-back, K&N cold air intake, or a leveling kit. What do y'all think?

If you want the most horsepower id go with the programmer, i wouldnt get the leveling kit because its the cheapest haha.

If its your first and last, then skip the leveling kit. It'll just make it harder for the wife to get in and out if you don't have step bars and it won't serve any useful purpose. As for the cold air intake, the GOTS mod will do just as fine. That just leaves the tuner and the exhaust. The tuner is probably the most practical option because it'll save you on gas which is a major plus do to the rising gas prices. The exhaust on the other hand would sound hella nice but that's about it. I recommend doing the stock intake mod, throw in a 30$ kn air filter and get the tuner if your options are that limited.

+100

Gotts = $20 maybe
Programmer = $350 new + some new extra HPs

Exhaust kit = to much noise for new baby
Lvl kit = to big a step for pregnant wife, then the want for larger tires.

Or you can just do all the mods you want on the DL and play stupid if she asks. LOL. :-D

Yeah, the want for bigger tires will arise. The DL thing will have me sleeping in a shallow grave. I was thinking with the exhaust the kid will learn to love the sound...and make a future gear head. I'll look up the Gotts. Thanks guys.

There is a price limit....like $400. And I do like the head lights...I'll have to figure that one out. I also want to start replacing everything that is included in the chrome package.
