Default BBK ceramic headers?

I have the opportunity to buy a set of BBK equal length ceramic shortie headers for my 90 lx 5.0 for $150, they are used, but in great shape. I am going to probably jump on the deal, but wanted to know if it sounded reasonable to everyone else. And how long is normal install if everything goes ok taking the old headers off?

easy install, decent price as long as the cermic coating isnt compromised, its just like chrome, once you take some of the coating off the whole things goes in no time.

I have them, that's a great deal considering they go new for around 300.

+1 Mine aren't junk but after the first year the ceramic was rusting on the tops of the tubes and flaking off around the connectors to the x-pipe..
