Thanks dude she has come a long way from when I scooped her. I redid my entire exhaust from heads back: aem ceramic longtubes, custom y, magnaflow cat, single 3" to an offset/center out 3" vt muffler and it sounds awesome. If you have access to a welder I can get you some part #s to build a system for way less than an off the shelf magnaflow kit with the same quality, just depends on how crazy you wanna get.
Regarding the transmission the 65E has a 5pinion planetary which helps quite a bit but they are hit or miss, mine seems fine after lots of abuse and 130k but I've had a vette servo and a tune ever since I bought it at 75k. Transgo Jr. shift kit, vette servo, longtubes, 05+ e-fans with a harness from Justin, and a tune will make you happy for awhile. My truck isn't fast but it surprises the ricers around here and the occasional fox body mustang or f-body. The kids with the modded 350z and G35s are the best though
