Dont take this the wrong way, but the only way to make it fast and loud is sell it and buy another one with a v8. Exhuast only wont make it any faster and the older 3.9 are real pigs.... nothing you can do to make it fast period. But if it looks good just drive it til it dies then sell it for parts and use that money as a down payment for a later model dakota. Anything after 1993 or 1994 is a much better option. JMHO
