First, the three inch exhaust may be a little overkill for the engine, but it probably can't hurt if you like it.
Second, it doesn't look like the H pipe is designed to go with the rest of the exhaust. There may be a lot of cutting/welding to make it fit with the rest of the system, so you might consider an exhaust that includes the H pipe (like the Flowmaster American Thunder). You might also consider an X pipe, which some think performs a little better over a wider RPM range.
