I saw some ceramic coated shorty headders on eBay last night. What's the general opinion on these?
Ebay does not make headers.
Who makes them? Details will help you get a useful response :D

personally i stay away from anything that A doesnt have a brand name attached to it and B is something like headers or cam's off ebay but thats just me
also unless you have a tbi truck shorty headers are a waste i heard

Those would more than likely be ok, but the y pipe also needs to be addressed when dealing with the OBS trucks.

This is the best way to seal a pair of 3 bolt flange collectors.

You cut the flange off and weld these on. As for the headers on ebay, I like the cheap chinese stainless OBS headers. They have a ball flange already and mate up perfectly to the Y pipe. Mine have been on for a year and for 89 bucks I couldn't be happier. I haven't had very good luck with the ceramic coated headers, not cheap ones either, but good American made ones. They peel and turn to crap just like painted ones.
These look like what I have, but they were cheaper when I got them.
