Just got my SRT last month. Love the car but the brakes are driving me crazy. Very noisy and dusty. I am assuming these are metallic pads. Can anyone confirm that. The dealer never did but said he could order ceramic pads for it. Just want to make sure.

I'd say you've treated your brakes too gently to date. My '07 Magnum SRT8 has the slotted rotors and the dusty brake pads. But I "bedded" the brakes to ensure proper performance within the first 100 miles.

See this excellent info on how to do this (at any time): http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm

I have had no squeeks in the first 800 miles. However, I am replacing the dusty pads with Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic pads, which reportedly create very little dust with similar stopping performance.
