Default exhaust/ground clearance issues,, what options with flowteck headers?

like the title says, i have flowtech headers and y pipe with an slp loudmouth catback. it hangs pretty low, about 4 inches of ground clearance at stock ride hight. i want to install koni SA's and eibach sportline springs, but my exhaust from the y pipe back is WAY to low to be able to lower the car. what y pipe options do i have that will give me better ground clearance and allow me to keep the flowtech headers? im not particularly partial to the flowtechs, i just dont want to spend the money on new headers when as far as i can see, the headers dont hang down to far, its the y pipe and back that is the problem. thanks in advance for the info!

ive got pacesetter lts and ory with flowmaster cat back (not to fond of it), with eibach sportline kit whick lowered my car 1.6" all around. the lts tucked up very nice and the y is right in line with them. the pipes are about 3.5" - 4" off the ground. i live in nebraska and there arent any flat smooth roads here, but i havent scraped yet.
