Default $500 bucks!

So my amended return came back faster then I expected! Now that I paid my LTZ's off I have some cash to spend. I now have $500 to spend on the truck.

Here are my options
1. Ditch the flow 40 for magnaflow duals out the rear.
2. Superchips.
3. Toolbox for the bed.
4. 2 1/2 level kit.
5. Spray in bedliner.

now that said....
1. I had magnaflows on my Mustang and loved them but idk if its worth the money just for a sound change.
2. I really dont race around in my truck to much, a little better fuel econ would be nice but idk if i would really use it to its potential.
3. Tractor supply has a nice black diamond plated tool box that all my stuff would go well in!
4. I would like to level but im worried with all the 4x4 wobble stories I hear as well as the potential for worse fuel econ
5. Would be cool since I have no bedliner at all! Stupid dealership "lost" it.

Im also toying with a remote start, Tint for the front windows and maybe a one sub audio setup. but those are just thoughts....

Any thoughts or info would be great!
Thanks guys!

Go on ebay and pick up a used 3815 flash paq since you dont want to do much more performance wise, should be able to pick one up for around $200 or less now with the new ones coming out with more features.

That leaves at least $300 for a few other things on your list. You could probably do 2 more things on top of the tuner if you price it out right.

Superchips and an e-fan, unless you do a lot of hauling then I would say do line-x first.
