Default Exhaust idea for my stepside, HELP me out

Guys. So I was thinking about a new exhaust setup for my stepside when I get my new Pacesetter Headers and Y-Pipe in. I was thinking about since the Y-Pipe comes into a 3" pipe, of doing a Hooker Aerochamber 3" in 3" out muffler, and then running it out the side in front of the rear passenger tire. I bought a dual slant cut side exit tip for it already that looks pretty sick, kind of like some Lightning style side exit tips.

Anyway, would a 3" exhaust be sufficient enough for a built 6.0 with a possible magnacharger in it's future? Or should I got bigger? Please post up with your comments and suggestions. Thank you in advance.
