Does anybody know if the exhaust system off a pointy will fit a K2 curvy? Mainly the front pipes.

I think the front pipe from a pointy wont fit a curvey. The pointy front pipe is designed to avoid he oil cooler but there isnt one on a curvey so it probably wont line up.

I'm not 100% sure though

I think it's a "sort of". The points at which the headers meet the engine are the same, and the extra clearance for the oil cooler wouldn't be an issue- would be if it were the other way round, of course. But chances are the mounting points differ. Certainly the midpipes do. It's going to be a fair amount of effort, I would say, so I wonder what the benefit is to you?

There was a set of front pipes for sale for a pointy allready cut for an end can. Would have saved cutting my exhaust, that was all!
