Seeking Exhaust Advice

I believe you have to cut those beautiful fenderwells to install those headers. Are you prepared to do that? 65'
Yes I am. I love the clean engine bay and the reason the PO didn't do it was because he's the one who painted the car, but since I already have the headers and I really like the way they look peaking out of the wheel wells, and because I don't drive it so often that I'm concerned about road debris in the engine bay, the answer is yes. Also, I was under the impression that for these years, headers which actually fit without cutting are an incredibly tight fit.
