headers and fenders

I am getting some of these headers, in the next week or so.
And wanted to know how much i will have to cut the inner fenders for them to fit?

I had a buddy put a set of those on his 79 f-250 4x4 that was a ground up resto and he had to cut almost half of the inner fender off and did a lot of fab work to make it look good.(show truck)

You will need to cut the inner fender for clearence, but it shouldn't be more than a couple inches.
I think I should be able to get some pics.

Looks like the passenger side needs some cutting, but just a little on the drivers side.
Here are some pics of Ivan's 78 w/ 460 and L&L headers.

Are you talking about the inner fenders? IF so, you couldn't install them until you did some cutting, but once you do some fitting and tracing you could cut out what's needed and put them on.
Other than that I haven't actually installed fender well exit headers, so I'm not sure if it'd be easier or not.
I'm sure it can be done either way, but I don't know anyone that pulled the fenders spesifically to install headers.
Good luck.
