As mentioned, if you're just after a different/louder sound you could have the h-pipe removed and replaced with a "resonated x-pipe" such as Magnaflow's 11386, and then have the factory mufflers removed as well - might be even cheaper than the 3" exhaust; this is what I did (also went 2.5" pipe the whole way - stock exhaust is 2.25" after the h-pipe) and I think it sounds pretty good.

With that said, I've also heard video clips of 3" exhausts on the V6 and they sound pretty damn good too, so if you don't mind the potentially reduced HP from the bigger exhaust then go for it. I imagine the power loss is relatively small although I really have no idea.
