Question Best Exhaust/LT Setup for Ground Clearance

In the title...I have BBK shorties, Magnaflow cats, custom 2.5 y pipe and TSP Rumbler catback. I love the sound, but I don't need the shorties anymore since I joined the Air Force and am not in Cali.

I would like a setup that won't **** off my neighbors (too much ) makes gobs more power than I have now and will gain me some ground clearance back.

Also, my Y pipe bangs the floorpan from the engine torque. Would this be solved with LTs? I would think they might be more rigid and thus wouldn't sound like a jack hammer when I punch the throttle.

And before I get a response, I did try. Thanks guys!

BBK LT's offer really food clearance. They tuck up nice and the ORY is 2.5" off the collectors to a 3" merge, providing excellent clearance.
