Yes there is! your headers can be had from Mopar performance (MP).
If you have an automatic transmission, your part number is P5249532.

Not true. The MP 3" exhaust system is the same for ALL the Dakotas. You
just have to cut one length shorter on the SWB. Part # P5249454. It
doesn't fit the standard cab/shortbox but it fits everything else. It
will also fit the V6 but it isn't listed in the catalog to do so. It is
however on the instruction sheets that come with the pipes.

A relative cheapy is the MP computer. You can get it for about $250-300.
You can return the old one for $100 credit to MP by shipping it back.
You can get 24 hp and 26 ft/lbs of torque improvements with premium fuel.
Part numbers P5249542 manual trans, P5249545 auto trans. These part
numbers are for the '94-'95 Dakotas only and the '92-'93s are different.
I don't know yet the numbers for the '96.
K&N filter maybe?
