If you had a flow bench you would know that a 90 degree Bend close to the flange does.
Don't have that flow loss with fender well headers. Those would always be my choice when I had room.

Well you kinda answered my question before I asked. Lol . I have both options but was shying away from cutting the inner fender (69 Barracuda), should check if allowed. I would make them up anyway because the store bought ones are 2" and I want 1 /3/4 or 1 5/8 primary's in a step design.

If the application is a 69 Cuda, you should talk to Mark Leilchook at Performance Welding. He builds the best header for your application.
