FFR,
Will the Roadster exhaust fit on the 65 Coupe?
Has FFR tested this and will the exhaust be quieter?
Any gotcha's with this approach?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if/when someone from FF might answer. But I'll respond FWIW. Short answer, no. Of course just about anything can be made to work if you start changing things. But stock Roadster headers and side pipes will not fit the Coupe body without modification to some/all the parts. When I was working with Gas-N on their Coupe side pipes (more details and pictures in my build thread linked in my sig line below) I had a set of their Roadster headers and side pipes for mock-up and first starts of my Gen 3 Coyote. I can confirm while they fit on the bare chassis, would not be close to fitting had the body been on.
IMO, if you're concerned about noise, there are better options than trying to adopt a Roadster setup. Better looking too if you want something similar to the original Coupe look. Again IMO.

You are correct. I do want to build a quieter "daily driver" Coupe. I did see your thread (heck, I've read it end to end three times)!
Thanks again.
