Speaking from experience, with bikes of that age, it starts to get tricky to find parts both after market and oem. The internet will be your best friend I think.

I was looking on motorcycle superstore website and they had a slip on exhaust. Is that something I would be looking for? I'm new and trying to learn everything I can lol

People generally go to slip ons for sound although they do have a slight performance improvement.

Ohhhh got it. What parts would you suggest to improve speed?

My suggestion.... if you want a big performance improvement get a newer bike. If you know a ton about bikes and mechanics you can mess around and make some slight improvements but as you said you're new to this so my professional opinion is to not mess with it too much. I have people coming to me everyday with bikes they tried to "improve" and they end up spending huge wads of cash for us to put them back to the way they were. (I work at a bike shop if you're confused lol) A slip on is an option that shouldn't cause too many problems... but if its not done right then most of the time you end up with less horsepower, not more. Just be careful bud... don't get sucked into the mod whirlwind without thinking it through!

Yea I was either thinking a slip on or/and the dynojet stage 1. It seems like it will make my bike run 10x smoother and everything

yup yup, best thing you can do for yourself and your bike is keep her in peak mechanical condition... its already a stupidly fast bike for the street anyway!
