Default Shorty Headers

G'day All,
Looking at buying some ceramic coated shorty headers for my '69, in particular these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SBC-Chev...19.m1438.l2649 .

Can those that are knowledgeable take a look at these and give me their opinions please.

TIA Mark

Couple question, what size are the collector flange? and what size is your exhaust? It's hard to tell from pict what size they are but if your system is 2 1/2 in and if the flanges are 2 in. I know a 2.5 in system starts off as 2 in, but I've always wondered how far down with the flanges bolted on do they reach? Also when I had my headers coated I sent them to 'Jet-Hot', they coat the headers inside and out. That keeps them from rusting from the inside out, are those? Some things to consider. T

Thanks Terry,
I have raised your questions with the seller. My pipes are 2". As I'm located 'down under',
Jet-Hot isn't an option.
