Need overall advice to improve my 2005 hemi Ram

This is an awesome resource to have access to all of you guys who really know Rams. I love the hemi motor and want to make the most of my truck without spending too much. It's got 98k miles now so prob keep it for a couple more years. Might as well get the most fun out of it eh ?? Got the magnaflow now, my first and only mod so here starts the process I guess. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond.
God Bless !!

Thx guys !! I actually found a good muffler shop that had a large body 22'' magnaflow. they installed it for 180 since I already had dual setup. It's perfect, decent rumble without being too loud. I have 98k on the truck and have decided to keep it a couple more years. Are there any aftermarket mods or addons that I can do to gain a little power without lessening reliability ? The new muffler seems to have added a little better throttle response, unless its my imagination. I wondered about the superchip/supertuner.....whatever it is. I welcome any and all ideas. My goal is to make myself like the truck enough again to keep from buying a new one for a while :). This economy has beat my biz up pretty good so anything I do has to be fairly cheap. I appreciate the responses.

Get a cold air intake and a programmer. Those two items will complement the freer flowing exhaust and in combination are, IMHO, the best bang for the buck mods you can do.

x2 maddog. those two items will more then please you for the money. and if you shop around,or dont mind buying used,I see superchips 3865's on craigslist all day long for under $200, not vin locked. and for an intake,im cheap,i didn't want to spend $200+ on a volant/K&N/Injen ect kit,so i got one off ebay($30),which is a true cold air(down to bumper) and slapped on a $50 K&N Cone filter from parts store,so my intake was only $80.

also do the DIY tranny line booster,there is a thread in the 3rd gen DIY sub forum

The line pressure booster adds just that, tranny line pressure to hold the clutches better. Some trucks react to it, others dont. Its also part of the transgo HD shift kit.
