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

Well i think u should get some gears, 4.10's will give u some low end grunt and get u moving in a hurry.

Gears, underdrive pulleys, or decrease the rotational mass(alum flywheel, driveshaft etc.).

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 ...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.
