Headers are made of stainless steel, and I polished them myself before mounting.
As you can see on the pictures, they have a very thick ( 1/2" ) stainless steel flange ( black painted, because it was too difficult to polish ).
I remember I bought them in 1998, but sorry I don't remember the brand, if it still exists...
I didn't have any problem to fit them on the car, even with all the accessories on driver side ( alternator, clutch mecanisms, steering gear box,... )
The whole exhaust lines ( 2" 1/4 diameter ) and mufflers are made of stainless steel.
There are not hundreds of stainless steel headers, so maybe you will find the brand by yourself.
Just ask to the shop where you will buy it if it will fit or not your engine without any modifications.
That is just what I did and it worked !

They look like Edelbrock Elite but without the lettering
Maybe Summit Clones?
It must take a while to put some oil in?
