Someone did a post about this a couple of days ago, do a search. They are Hedman and I think Summitracing has them cheaper.

They are plain jane hedmans with 1/4'' flange. This guy seems to do his own coating work. I bought the "Elite" version which has 3/8'' flange and thicker tubes, but there is nothing "Elite" about their (hedman) quality control
If i had more time and money i would switch to hookers

I bought the headers from that same guy off ebay. Yes, they are Heddmans with a nice shinny coating, inside and out. The are non-emission headers. Cost about the same as Summit, I think w/out the coating. They are decent headers and the sound good, added sotp power, lost alittle low-end torque though. The flanges are the 1/4" but are coated, seemed pretty tough, mine is not a daily driver though.

They do come with gaskets, bolts and flanges.
