Did the milage drop after the mods ? 3" exhaust seems big for a v6, that's what I have on my v8 and get 15 mpg. Loss of scaveging exhaust velocity can't be good for your low end torque; are you trying to compensate for that by flogging it ?

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Yeah...I'd be thinking back and trying to figure out if that began after the 3 inch exhaust installation. Also might wanna check your O2 sensors out and make sure they're still working good...a lazy/worn out one will make your gas mileage drop like a rock.
