They are made by Flowtech, but if you look carefully at the pics, they appear to be identical to these:

I have heard quite a few people who have nothing but good things to say about the Summit headers in the second link, excellent fit, quality, etc. and the Flowtech headers in the first link appear to be the exact same header, but coated, so you should have good luck with it. And the price is so right, it makes me feel like dancin'!!!!!
Keep the shiny side up!

Burning Brakes
Here are some shots of mine. Just installed. They are from Josh Powers at Custom Image Corvettes. Jet Hot Sterling coated inside and out. Stock '76 L-48
headers before coating below:
Lots of clearance to the frame, steering box, Z-bar. I used the 576S plugs from ACCEL and so far they are perfect.

I don't know about anyone else but the more I look at different listings the more confused I get! Long tube, y connector, short style--wow what is the best? I did a desk top dyno check on my engine and quickly saw that headers make a whale of a difference in HP using them over stock manifolds. It is apparent that money spend to increase performance is wasted if you don't do something about exhaust. I guess the magic question is which ones to use???

hard to go wrong with just about any 1-5/8 tube header. Look for a good thick flange to the head
Those equal length tuned headers=waste of dough and can make getting to things difficult. Youll never notice the small power increase they claim.

I have been under my car a lot recently and noticed a thick steel plate that does not look 'factory.' I'm not sure I can recommend it to others as an option for addressing cabin temperatures, but I'll take a picture or two over the weekend so you can asses for yourselves.

Melting Slicks
Had ours coated inside and out. They look fantastic and as some others have said, you can't believe the temp difference until you experience it for yourself. Another nice thing is the durability of the coating. I dripped some oil on the headers while hot (during our break in run). It stained the ceramic slightly. Just sanded it with 2000 grit wet paper (LIGHTLY) and polished it with some aluminum polish - looked like brand new again. Even melted plastic from a plug wire separator came off with a fingernail.PM me if you would like the info for the company I used here in Phoenix. Much cheaper than Jet Hot and the results were awesome.
