What can I do to gain low end torque after O/R X install?

I replaced my MRT catted H with a UPR o/r X to compliment my 2 chamber flows. I'm completely satisfied with this combo except for the loss of low end torque. Besides a KB super charger of course, what can I do for under $500 to improve the low end torque and at least get it back to where it was with my MRT pipe?
Thanks
 
Is it just me, or has anyone else really not noticed any loss in low-end torque. The SOTP meter is even telling me a gain, along with the burning rubber as I gun it from a stop in my auto....Maybe it's because the flowmasters give a little backpressure themselves :shrug: ...anyway, if you're like me, you won't notice a loss...but gears are always nice, anyway. Just my 2 pennies...others may disagree
 
I'm not saying my low end totally dropped off, I can still spin the tires from zero and chirp them going in to second. It just feels like I need to be at about 3500 rpms with the X to get same pull I felt at just over 2000 rpms with the H. I can definitely say the high end with the X is awesome, along with the sound.
