Default XS-Power headers?

Anyone ever heard of these?http://www.xs-power.com/corvette-headers-1.htm
A member here is trying to sell a used set. They appear to be similar to the OBX headers but they claim these are made in the USA. I have been looking for a good deal on a used set of name brand headers or the bargain headers like these or Texas speed but I have a few questions i would like awnsered.
The texas speed headers obvioulsy come from a more reputable shop, but aren;t these only coated and not stainless? It also appears they only come with an aluminized mid pipe, wouldnt this rust after some time?
Also, these XS Power headers state they are made from 321 stainless. Ive never heard of this type stainless. Anyone know how well this would hold up? Would it discolor or have slight surface rust?
I know the forum gets hundreds of questions about headers and people get tired of awnsering them, and im sorry if these qustions were awnsered already but I can not find them if they were.

Thanks in advance for any replies,
Bryan

They look just like some that have been going in the $300 range on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/C6-LS...item5883fada51

We've had nothing but great success with these new headers for the C6 cars, and they are 100% made in the USA too
