did it have the rear facing seats in the back?

I'm guessing he didn't know that he can change his screen name down the road? I personally don't like to brag about anything I don't have yet.
To answer your question, I think a 3" exhaust will be overkill until you actually do get the turbo kit.

Yes, they came in handy when my wife and I were dating.

Kudos to you and your first car, nice to see some kids still like to buy V6's. :P Enjoy the expendable income and have fun with it. And don't forget, that's a piece of history you have in your parking spot, take care of her, lord knows we've lost too many.
If your serious about getting a turbo then I would highly suggest reading the Turbo section from start to finish, I'd say by the time your done you'll know everything there is to know about putting a turbo to the duratec and who to talk to there afterwards.
And..
Welcome to the board and don't forget to take the criticism on here with a big grain of salt.
