Make sure everything else is up to snuff before doing any real mods..... tune up, check the plenum, etc.

You wont notice any difference by just doing exhaust. Pretty much the same with any vehicle. There are a lot of things you can do, check a search on here. Just keep in mind its a truck, not a mustang.

Welcome to the forum! I have a gutted cat and cherry bomb glasspack on my truck, sounds good!! It's nice and loud just the way I like it , but doesn't add any HP, probably cause there was no decal that came with it

I suggest you have a GOOD look around this site, to familiarize yourself with some of the common Dodge issues that you probably didn't even know about (I've learned a TON since I joined here!). We have a lot of knowledgeable gearheads here that don't mind answering questions/solving problems so you came to the right place!

Oh, that sucks. Maybe we should take up a sticker collection so you can go fast like everyone else?

I think a couple of huuuge VTEC decals goin diagonally up the sides would do the trick

I dunno, man... are those hood scoops really, really secure? I'd be afraid that that speed might start tearing things off of the body when you wind it out.
