Looking into some premium headers for my sub and I've seen these pop up in multiple searches.
Are there any other brands I should include in my search?

Doug Thorley headers

Tomorrow I'll let you know how my $250 ceramic coated summit racing long tubes fit.
If you are talking premium, then look at the Hedman's in stainless (62230).
They are about $700 regular price, but they fit, clear the shackles, and don't hang down a ton. I've been running them for ~4 years, no issues.
I don't like coatings (at least external). I've heard stainless exhaust can get brittle, but I've not seen any issues yet.
Here is what they looked like before I put this engine in the truck:

I haven’t used Sanderson headers, but I use to drive by their shop all the time without even knowing it. 
Found out about them when Stacey David used them on (I think) Copperhead.
Might want to call them to see if they’ll fit your Sub.

They fit quite nicely. You'll definitely need 90* plug boots and heat socks but otherwise I'm happy.
Stan's Headers in Auburn Washington are the Shiznit!!! He uses a ball & socket collector that never leaks and the best materials available. Most flanges are 3/8 and are FLAT!

My understanding is that he & Doug Thorley were once partners.Stan definitely took his product to the next level. I have owned both!!

Aren't all headers illegal for use in California?
Sorry! Didn't think about that!

Nope. They need a CARB compliant tag riveted to it.
No worries, for the OP it probably doesn’t matter since he’s not from CA.
