Then again, I can't expect much improvement in the sound department from the 3.0 engine.

You'll get a little more sound out of your x-pipes, it won't be a lot of sound like a rip snorting V8, but it will be an improvement. You're right, the 3.0L engine doesn't push enough volume through the exhaust to create a lot of sound. But the good news is that somebody will buy your 4.8is pipes.
GregwX5 posted some sound clips of his AFE CAI and SuperSprint exhaust mounted on his 3.0. It's a pretty nice sounding system.
