How to quiet down my 3" exhaust?

Power sticks will take about 5db off of it. Straight through design, no packing materials.
Those don't look like they'll flow very well, with those louvers sticking into the stream? Although that's less important at the end of the exhaust system.
I know some have run 3" to the mufflers and 2.5" tailpipes with little if any power loss, but significantly quieter. I don't want to redo the tailpipes though.
