Default $500 extra, flowmaster 40 exhaust or Edge tuner?

Between my federal refund and a paycheck, I have $500 I'm budgeting for my truck. I have a flowmaster 50SUV SISO on it right now and want to go louder or at least dual out with 4" slant cut tips but I have also wanted the Edge tuner (http://www.edgeproducts.com/product.php?pk=79&pvk=241)

What would you get or would you get something else?

No, that's what I budgeted. My fed refund was 641 and i make 85k/yr, but I also want things like a house and money to play in the stock market.

Lol, I saw your edit after I posted. The other side of that is the insane amount of money I spent on College [:@]

I guess sometimes you have to spend some to make some, I make ok money for someone 3 months out of school, but paying loans out the *** sucks.

85k 3 months out of school!??!! WHat the hell do you do?? Put patients to sleep!?!? haha, damn i'm going to be satisfied with starting at 45k after school...and that seems like A LOT for me when I'll be 22/23.......but I mean it'll go up each year but it'll take a good ole 9-12 years to get up to the 85k range!

I voted other just because of the group buy on doug thorley headers at moes performance - discounted a good bit - and you will get as much HP out of that than you will a tuner without having to spend the extra dough on premium! But in regards to tuner I say the edge - I really like the display it offers.

IMO, all Flowmaster is good for is making noise. Magnaflow is a much better system if you were thinking of upgrading that. But, if you have that kind of money to invest,I would either go with a Superchip tuner or some Headers.

Used tuner from ebay for 1/2 the price and the muffler. As always, I'm going to fanboy the Cherry Bomb Extreme which is a little louder than the FM40 and does have a very nice sound to it, but I'm not sure if it will pass inspection
