Hey, I'm having trouble finding a correct exhaust as I've got a PK motor in a v90 frame, what exactly is different from a v90 motor mounting and a PK motor mounting. Is there anything stopping me using a pv125 faco et3 exhaust on the pk motor?

Awesome, I have found a faco exhaust that is made for the pk motor so it should be fine

PK and V banana exhausts have different geometry of manifolds. It is possible that PK exhaust will not fit into V chassis.

I confirmed with the manufacturer, the only difference is the mounting location for pk rather than et3 on the faco banana, geometry is the same

Wrong.
You can't mount V-range exhaust into PK without cutting chassis. No matter what engine is inside.
100% that PK and V exhausts have different geometry. Even SIP states that about fitting exhausts.

BTW it is worth to put in SIP banana - much better than Faco.

From the picture the seller gave me it definitely has geometry of V series, oh well only way to see if it fits is to fit it, got it dirt cheap as I'm not looking for the best performance atm

Also I'm putting a PK motor into a V range chassis not the other way round with no glovebox

V chassis - V exhaust, even with PK engine.

Fair I think you got me there convinced, I'll be ordering from sip to get the converter anyway as I'll also be getting sip performance 125cc kit, and find a better exhaust available in the uk since vat will f* me over
