Are the TTI shorties really my only option?

Yeah, I could use 'em. It was the modified Z bar that put me off. Maybe it isn't a big deal, but I just wanted a drop in. Bummed already b/c I spent all the $'s on the 340 manifolds and the Accurate Exhaust............ ouch........

I would suggest you try the plates then. I can give you my layout and you could look into getting a set cut, if you want.
