I'm not aware of anything you can do to modify the Banks to get the torque back lower in the curve. You haven't really lost it completely, it just moved up the curve some. CAI will offset the feel to a small degree as well.
Like stated above, modifications to your stock set up will often show gains in HP and TQ, you just have to watch their graphs on where the gains are, and if it sacrifices in other areas. Take Uprev for instance; they don't really show outstanding gains, but the track times are
astonishing and the
performance is proven. All exhausts and intakes will show gains(or they wouldn't sell, haha), its all in where you want it.
Now, to answer your question: a smaller diameter Y-pipe(around stock diameter or up to 2 1/4) will get the low end back, but the top HP numbers they advertise may not be what you get. However, if you plan on getting the cams anytime soon, go with the banks as it is designed.
