Default coupe and sedan differences

I am looking for an exhaust for my 4 door, but most cat back systems specify coupes only. What is the difference in exhaust layout from the coupes to the sedans? I would hate to spend 300-500 for a madrel bent cat back just to have a muffler shop have to modify it and have to settle for a crush type of bends.

Yeah, I don't want crush bends and I guess I have been going to the wrong muffler shops since most of them say the madrel bend machines cost to much. I have to find a good shop that can do madrel bend in case I need to modify the exhaust.

from what I can tell the wheel base and length of both the coupes and sedans are the same, but for some reason most cat back systems specify coupe only. if it was as simple as adding to the length that would be great, but what I think is the difference may be the actual routing getting to the muffler. I guess I will have to just take my chances with ordering the coupe exhaust and modifying it if need be.

not as many as u would think. Those machines carry a lot of 0's on their prices.
