Seriously, you didn't gain 60 RWHP from installing QTP LTs.

So are there any Y-pipes out there that overcome the clearance issues with the QTP y-pipes? QTP are mid-priced headers and they seem to have good characteristics, but I plan on lowering my bird with Strano springs and don't want to loose my y-pipe on every bump. What else is compatible with QTP headers?

Guess it looks like TSP and Mufflex could be options.
