Need Opinions w/ Duals and Ground Clearence...

Need Opinions w/ Duals and Ground Clearence... Currently, I have MACs, 3" duals with Magnaflow 4x9's, and lowered 1". Needless to say, I can't go over speed-bumps at all, and even scrape on some bumpy roads. I really need to do something about this soon, or I won't be able to drive my car at all anymore, because I will be blocked in by speed bumps...
I have some options, one is to go back to y-pipe, which is a last resort.
What I am currently thinking of doing is buying LT's, and then going to 2.5" duals, cats, x-pipe, and run it out the back with Flowmaster 10 series or Sweet Thunder mufflers. Anyone have a system that resembles this? How do you like it? Would there be a loss of power going to this over my current system?
Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks a lot!

I have Jet Hot LTs, 2.5" tds with a x-pipe and flowmaster 10 series.
I have as much ground clearance as I did with my slp y-pipe/flowmaster catback setup. My car is not lowered but I think you would be safe with these mufflers because they are only 3" thick. The only spot you may have to drop the exhaust down a little is on the floorpan on the drivers side, right off the header. I have 3 friends with M6 cars with this setup and they have no clearance problems and only minor drone issues.

Pacesetter LTs
2.5" X-Pipe
2.5" Sweet-Thunders
Lowered 1.5"
My exhaust is currently dumped without any clearance issues. I had a shop quote me $200 to extend my tubing out to the rear bumper. I may do that if I get in trouble with the cops for the dumps.
