Default MagnaFlow headers / exhaust manifold?

I haven't found anything discussing them but their site is pretty strange. They call them direct fit catalytic converters but they are about 700/each so I doubt it's just the cats and besides there is no "direct fit" about our cats that are welded to the header. Has anyone purchased the MagnaFlow headers? Any details/photos?

Items 1 and 2 are left and right exhaust manifolds (headers) with integral cats, like the stock manifold.
item 3 is a full catback system with integral cats, like the stock system (a two into one into two system) thought the secondary cats are mounted much further back than the stock system.
Item 4 is just a universal Magnaflow cat that can be welded into any exhaust system with a 2.25" or 2.5" diameter.

All are available at amazon:

They appear to be less expensive replacements for the stock units. Though the exhaust manifolds seem to have piping designed for a bit smoother flow. I don't see where items 1, 2, or 3 would do much to increase power. And I really don't see a market for this as many of us have stock manifolds and exhaust taking up space in the garage.
