Depending on how bad it is, that dead pedal feel could be lean burn but I would say it's the o2 sensor and without the o2 sensor your engine is in limp mode running on a safe default setting, not getting good mileage.
as for other mods to make? I'm a big fan of the stock drive train, with sythetic oils, be sure to change you tranny fluid as it should be done every other year and is a good chance it's been 10 years, good motor oil is all it needs.
Keep your exhaust stock and your engine will run best, I've pulled some weird exhaust systems off my vx's and always saw an improvement, if mufflers rust out quickly for you then go to a honda dealer for the parts, install them your self, not much higher price the an auto part store, they fit perfect and they have a warranty for as long as you own it.
