Default Next MOD need opinions

I want get another semi cheap mod for my05' RCSB HEMIand Im not sure what to get. I already have an AFE HEMI High Breather CAI, Borla Cat-Back Exhaust, and Superchips Flashpaq. Again I want to keep the next mod cheap (under $800 preferrably). Any opinions?

have you had your truck dyno'd yet? if so, what kind of numbers you putting down with the mods you have so far? i have been looking into a Borla exhaust for months but most here dont seem to like them. i like the fact that Borla gives the lifetime warranty for the life of the exhaust.

Most people dont like the Borla Systems because they are really quiet andthey cost quite a bit more than every other exhaust system out there but you cant beat the quality andplus itsstrictly a performance exhaust system. Also the sound of just having the Borla's on isn't as mean as most like and the drone at 45mph and 70mph is deafening, but that was before I added my CAI. With the combo I have it completely got rid of the drone at all speeds and made it just sound nasty. You can barely hear it at Idle and when you rev it it just sounds mean as hell,my uncle keeps telling me it sounds alot like his stock viper because of the high horse power and agressive tone the exhaust puts out when reving the engine.

Thats close but mine sounds quite a bit more agressive than that even.

Back to my original post though does anyone know of any performance upgrades/mods I can get done for under $800?

Just curious but do you have an CAI on your truck or are you just running with the stock air box?
