Hey man welcome to the forum! I'm 18 as well but I don't do reckless things on the road.... that's why I have 4x4 for lol To answer your questions, I too have actually wanted HIDs (not the ricey blue kind, the 4500k ones that are white) but I couldn't find any projectors out there for our trucks that don't look like crap so I haven't done em. Like others have said don't do HIDs w/out the right projectors. For exhaust, I think what you want would sound quite good. Best of luck!

Here is the best looking way to do projectors I have seen. Not cheap but look great.

Or you can buy them ready to go from TCM_GLX here:

Feeler: True Projector HID Headlights 92-96 - FSB Forums

They are not cheap from him either as his time does cost money.

those HIDs look sweet I wonder if you could retrofit them into a brick headlight.

So far you have received a bunch of great advice, and listen well regarding the HID, a poor job there can even lead to a fire, so you better hear the guys, and no cats is good as long as you keep a decent muffler, otherwise the noise will get old quite fast. Evan mentioned a 3" single pipe, which is the best option cost wise and performance wise, as there will be no back pressure drop is you go with this setup.
