If you really still want the spare with you then re-route the pipes or wrap them in heat wrap so they don't melt the tire. If you can do without the tire then ditch it and buy a couple cans of fix a flat and keep a bike pump with you

The LMC catalog( I am sure other places have them too) has an inexpensive tire holder that mounts in the back of the bed.I can't speak personally about it's useage,but looks like it could be a solution.

Why did they not route it around the spare? I have duals, and it goes around the spare. Might have to put it in the bed.

I bought a dual exit catback that has both exits on the same side because of the spare tire issue. Stilll had issues with one of the pipes melting my spare though. I recently had it fixed so that one pipe now exits the other side, and still have room for my spare. Took an hour and cost $100. So, you can have dual rear exits and still keep the spare where it belongs.
