Honda exhaust system hell

[mattsmith95]

My CB250 needed a new exhaust, it was knackered so I bought a genuine Honda exhaust. After a few weeks I noticed a rattle, the left hand pipe needs to be replaced because the baffle is loose. Now I have to take my bike back to the shop for the pipe to be replaced. Now I wished I had bought the motad, less hassle.

are motad exhausts standard exhausts or performance aftermarket? mine has a motad assumed it was standard.

Neither, it's simply aftermarket. Not standard, but not performance
Motad are a very common choice for older bikes basically, effectively "pattern" exhausts, much cheaper than a new OE unit.

Motads are aftermarket, mainly bought because owners are to tight fisted to buy genuine parts. I refer the genuine pipes, they look cool, motads look nasty.
