Programmer if you drive it enough.
Head unit and front speakers. You don't need fancy speakers for the back doors. You sit in the front. I can't hear my rear speakers.
Mine head unit and speakers were <$500. Gotta shop.
Gotts for me was $5.95
Level kit, no. When you get new tires get leveling shocks at
the same time.
Muffler, no.

Sad thing is this really does work. I have added a few things to my truck without anyone noticing, except those present when I installed the stuff. Always remember to start with the small stuff like mud flaps, and so on. For whatever reason the small stuff is rarely paid attention to.

My vote is for the exhaust. I think it will make you the happiest in the long run, plus it is something that you will always notice. Also, I've heard people on here say that in order to see gas mileage benefits, you need to do all three (exhaust, intake, tuner).

If it was what she notices on the truck...i could do everything and she wouldnt know the difference. But she called me up with the bank statement pulled up, "Blake, What did you get on itunes for $3.00" So this whole DL thing is futile....its all a question of how long i want to be in the dog house. And her dog house is full of broken glass and razor wire.

I think you need a longer leash if she's breaking your bwalls over 3 bucks! That or you need a second job for some extra income.





Or not. What business is it of mine?

My wife is a financial secretary. So I know where you come from. So I plan long term. What is the biggest bang for the buck. I would go with a replacement head unit and front speakers (because you hear them all the time and benefit that way) or replacement speakers and a tuner (shop for a deal on both and you can do it). Not a big sexy head unit $$$, a replacement for the one you have. Personally, I bought 1/2 of my efan setup last fall and will buy the fans at the end of the month. Let the financial secretary (wife) know that a few month's ago. (love her to death my financial secretary) Make sure she gets something for herself, and the baby too. It will go a long way towards lengthening the leash.
