I bought mine locally but to give you a better look I found them on the Summit website.
Mine are the first link in natural steel. Second link is ceramic coated.
As I recall, the headers went in with the motor so I cant speak to ease (or not) of installation. The only problem I had was a manufacture defect - a hole in one of the header pipes near the flange at the head. Funny thing was, I was setting the timing and the click from the leak coincided with the flash of the timing light so I knew the leak was in the #1 tube. I dropped the header off the head and luckily noticed light through the pinhole in the tube. Got my resident welder son to make the leak disappear, bolted it back up and havent had a problem since.

Thanks for the response. I went with the ceramic coated patriots. My crate has aluminum heads as does your zz4. Did you use a specific header gasket or the ones that came with the headers? Is your car a standard or auto?
Did you have to go to shorty plugs due to your plug wire terminals being to close to your headers? Are you running shorty plugs? Did you heat wrap your headers?

No, No and No.
Only a couple of plugs take a bit of patience.
Nothing special about the plugs.
No heat wrap on the headers, just black ceramic header paint.

What number cylinder is giving you clearance issues?
Im sorry you are having trouble with the Patriots after I posted using them with no problems. My ZZ4 has the aluminum angle plug heads and in the description of the headers it states the angle plugs are not a problem for fit.
I will have a closer look at mine in your problem location and post a picture.
