Default Hedman Elite Headers Good or Bad?

Need some advice from the experts here. I got a quote from a muffler shop near me for the following:

Headman Elite Headers Ceramic Coated - Installed
2 1/2 " exhaust to the back with H-pipe
Dynomax mufflers

All installed for $950 plus tax.

Question:
1. Is this a good deal?
2. Are the Hedman Elite headers good?
3. Do I need to be concerned with any specific model of Dynomax Muffler?

My hand built exhaust from the headers back w/flowmaster 40 was 850.00......If the guy can tuck it up tight, I'd say it's a fair price...

It sounds like a good deal to me. I'm just not sure about the Hedman Headers. I've heard the Dynomax are good, but he wasn't able to find a part number for the ceramic coated Dynomax headers. If anyone knows the part number, for the Dynomax they have on their car, that would be great.

the elite has thick 14 gauge tubing and thick 3/8 flange with a
modern ball flange on the collector. pm ajrthom, dyno max has
thin 18 gauge tubing 5/16 flange old style collector gasket.
