Default Sanderson Headers

I’m looking to purchase a set of Sanderson headers for my 1977 corvette
Short
Block Huggers
black ceramic coating

I am going to be replacing the whole exhaust system and have heard Sanderson makes a good header has anyone had products from them?
Not quite sure which exactly fits my car wondering if anyone could tell me?

Just put the CC1DP-SEC block huggers on my 68 and quality is ok I guess for the price. Had to take a dremel to grind off quite a few spots left from the welding that hadn't been cleaned up in the ports and grind down some raised lips left on the mating surface before they coated them. One tube also had to be 'massaged' due to not enough clearance to the steering box. Have a GM Fastburn 385 crate motor in there so maybe stock motor with slightly lower ports might have had more clearance. Also needed the welds cleaned up on the collector reducer as the ones Sanderson did were awful. Overall am happy with them as they flow way better than the rams horns I was still using mated to the 2 1/2" system and Flowmaster 40s out the back

I had a set on my last build that I was very happy with. Actually bought them at the factory. They were ceramic coated and finished very nicely. I can assure you mine did not look anything like those pics.

They gave me a tour of their factory and I am very surprised they let those go out the door.

the reducers look a bit back yard and the clearance in the engine compartment is what I’m worried about the ports on a 1977 350 L48 are they D or oval have not taken originals off yet?
I have heard Sanderson quality is great but looks like when your going with a crate motor like anything aftermarket nothing ever lines up perfectly hence why I try to go OG on every part
