Sorry ruby, 0/10 for observation there. Well here is what the salesman replied anyway for anyone who is interested.
"The Venom range was introduced so we could be competitive with the Chinese copies (Delkiavic,Sandybike Spares) without upsetting the dealers.The 2 main differences between the Motad and Venom pipes are: motad have a 10 year warranty where the Venom have a 3 year warranty and the final finish,the Venom parts are only put into the Chemicals once,where as the Motad pipes go in twice to ensure a more even shiny finish"
(I also asked him about the restrictor point near outet). "The outlet on the downpipes is the same size as the Yamaha pipes because it is designed to work with the OE gasket in place,again though,a lot of the Chinese parts are designed with larger tubing to do away with the use of gaskets. The pipes are made out of the same material by the same people here in the factory..like i said,these were introduced for one reason only..to compete against the Chinese and keep the Motad brand separate.You can order direct on 01922714700,the price will be £139.99+ £12.86 postage."
So that is what I have done. Should be on their way before the weekend hopefully but if not early next week. My end can will be end of jan though so will have to wait for that but that's not from them. I got some gaskets and a fender extender separately too, plus some stainless dome nuts. I am half tempted to paint the engine whilst the front is exposed but I don't think its a good idea in the crap weather we have at the moment and I don't have a garage so may wait until summer and possibly even consider removing the engine as it will be easier to check the valves which will need doing soon.
