Nice truck. Welcome to DF!
For the exhaust, nothing beats long tube headers with true dual exhaust. Thats the most expensive but the best route, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, to pair up with the Fastman nicely, get a good CAI or the 14x3 round air cleaner setup.
The 318 gets 230hp stock I believe. For increases from these mods, I have no real idea, other than its not near what the manufacturers claim. But I can tell you that you'll get a lot better acceleration out of her once she can breath.
If you don't mind me asking... you said she was in a rear end collision but repaired, and then stated you were going to get it new front and rear bumpers. If its already been fixed, why are you getting another rear bumper? Or a front for that matter? Just curious.

tim- yes the decal came with the truck.
jason- the rear end wreck was with the previous owner. and i got caught up in a front end fender bender with a suburban. just a messed up front bumper so i took all the plastic off and have been running around with just chrome.
buford- its a 2001 2wd with the tow package.
