What did they say about them? Does that price include the ceramic coating?

Description
With such quality features as standard 14-gauge (0.083 wall) mandrel-bent tubing, precision die-stamped and laser-cut flanges, screw-in studs and optional polished ceramic coating. Shorty and equal-length headers for such vehicles as the popular 5.0 Mustang have become the most desired and well known performance headers on the market.

Tip on any header ! Your better off with headers that are welded on the inside and outside of the flange! There is alot of expansion and contraction with headers Vere's the thick one piece cast factory manifold! Some brands just weld the inside, some weld the inside and just tack the outside! The Steeda's have full welds inside and out!........Less chance of leaks or completely popping a pipe.

$369.95 is for the ceramic coated ones, they should be here in less than a week.

A few concerns that I have with LT are...

Loud, from the videos that I have heard they scream a bit to much for me
Price, they are a bit pricey
Fit, I need to get a smaller H pipe also and would like to get the Pypes H pipe

Just my opinions, I know they offer much more HP than Shorty's
