Anyone use these headers on their early a body?

I've had more than one 64-65 Barracuda with fenderwell headers. They suck, at best! You can run over a dime laying in the road and they will drag. :BangHead: My current 65 Barracuda will be getting Doug's D450's and I'm gonna cut a notch in the passenger side of the torsion bar crossmember for more exhaust clearance.
Because that's what you need to do to make them fit from the factory or is there some bending of the headers going on for better ground clearance?
