The best exhaust for an IDI is a turbo kit. Otherwise, just install a glass pack or something, but you probably won't get noticeable power gains out of it.
Clutch, if you do it, you want to upgrade to a SMF kit - South Bend and LuK make these flywheel kits.
When you upgrade to a SMF, you want to overfill the transmission by 1 quart. It quiets the extra noise that the SMF clutch makes.

Single mass was a good upgrade mines from luk clutch 12.25 inch clutch disk. doesn't break the bank so bad, yes turbo is the way to go, and can be had used for a fair price if on a budget I found my ats kit for 300 dollars at a you pull junk yard for everything. I did all the small mods before I did a turbo gained a little and they will run forever that way 3 inch exhaust is plenty for n/a but 4 inch sounds cooler.

Mines n/a and I ran 4" from the y pipe and turned it out just before the right rear. Sounds good but I think it could use a muffler. Hoping a future turbo will quit it down a bit. I didn't notice any performance gains but it did drop about 100 degrees on egts

Yes with n/a straight pipe is defiantly louder could use a muffler depends on how much you care about noise outside the truck, I would go at least 3 inch exhaust larger won't gain much performance if any but sound quality is better and you loose a little egts with it for turbo or no turbo. With a turbo it quotes it down some
what's with all this muffler talk. its plain and simple, don't use them. 
for those that were at the 2012 rally would know my truck has no mufflers. hence the name. oh and the dyno guys had earmuffs on.

it depends on how much power you want. the banks kit are good. it also depends on how much you want to spend.

I appreciate straight pipes but when you're trying to hold a hill at the top of 3rd gear with a load and the rear slider open and the radio goes away and there's no hope for a conversation, a straight through doesn't sound like too bad of an idea lolwhat's with all this muffler talk. its plain and simple, don't use them.

Why would you have the radio up during a pull like that?? The sound of straight pipes is better than music
