$400, what would you get?

OK So I was able to budget about $400 for my truck. On my List of things to get, What would you get and why? My truck is fairly stock, Black Bull Bar and leveling kit.
Gibson Dual Extreme
Edge Evolution
K&N Intake
Fat Bobs AAL and Rancho 5000s
Smittybilt XRC-8 or -10
Used Bowflex (So the truck and the DRIVER look good)

get a gryphon. not an edge.

if it was me and i was not going for performance i would get
1) exhaust dumped ($100)
2) front tint 15% ($65-80)
3) leveling kit ($120 after alignment)
that still leaves you a $100

dumping your exhaust is:
muffler replaced and then on the exits just has turn downs. so you have no tips or anything and its usually louder and much cheaper.

another idea would be lights for your bull bar. and maybe a minor change paint the gunmetal color in your wheels black to match your running boards, tool box and bull bar

cat backs are a waste of money just go to a muffler shop and tell them what muffler you want and its alot cheaper

For $400 I'm getting Bilstein 5100's, and they level the truck at the same time. I need new shocks and struts anyway.

the tips off the muffler angles down, preventing carbon build up on the undercarriage. if you just hack off after the muffler and have no turn downs then yes you will get carbon on your undercarriage
