Default FD & FC Exhaust profiles

I'm currently looking for a 3in exhaust tubing kit for the FC. As far as I have been able to find no one makes one for the FC. There is a company called VRS that produces very nice tubing kits for a very nice price. Unfortunately they only produce the FD tubing kit. Considering the general lay out of the two platforms would the FD's stock exhaust layout be somewhat similar to the FC's?

In regards to the VRS kit my thinking is rather simple: If the FD's stock exhaust layout is mimicked in the VRS kit (which it is), and the FC and FD stock layouts are similar enough I may just purchase the FD kit and cut and form fit the mandrel bent kit to work on the FC. This would of course go out the window if the FD's stock exhaust does not mimic the FC.

Looking at the respective FSM's it doesn't look like it's what I'd want. There is a pretty big 90* bend at the rear muffler and seems to be arranged quite differently than the FC's exhaust system.

However, if anyone has any information concerning doing something like that, please post.

eh FCs and FDs dont really have anything on common other than they both have shitty plastic interior pieces, and a similar engine.
oh and the same brake pads.

I'm currently in email correspondence with VRS to see if they would be willing to produce a kit within the next 4-8 months. I've seen their tubing kits first hand and they are top quality (Friend installed them on his Spec V).

If they're willing to I may have to gauge interest. It's amazingly cheaper than buying a full kit. Roughly $200.00 (but you'd still have to buy flanges, components, and hangers separately)
