Default can anyone here identity my exhaust

"UPDATE"

here's some pics of it installed. it fit like a glove from front to back. what you guys think? sorry i had a bad angle as its on jackstands about 2 feed to the wall of my house.














I just picked up a exhaust on craigslist. seller said it was from japan on his soarer when he was stationed in japan air force and took all his parts when he moved back to cali. he did not know what kind of exhaust it is but his friend from japan via email said its blitz.

just wanted to know if anyone can identify it as it does not have any badge or anything on it. it is super light in weight and flanges and welds look pretty nice also. I'm just hoping i did not do all the driving to the airbase for a ebay setup.... lol

So you're the one who bought this! haha I was thinking but wasn't sure if 200$ was worth it or just save up for some suspension components.

looks like good quality...blitz i think engraves their mufflers. Probably one of the original OG's here can ID it. Someone like koohinoor who seems to know every part made for this car! Hopefully he chimes in to help ya out.

Id still pay 200 for it though, people dont know what it costs to build a nice mandrel bent flanged exhaust.

Also i was under the impression jasma was the japanese equivalent to a "carb number" not a brand like jic

im sorry to say but this is ebay.

blitz, or any high end company definitely engraves their products.

for example, my tanabe has engraves everywhere including a metal plate which says "tanabe"

Well this exhaust sure was in japan once even if we are not sure it was made in japan.... Lol last owner showed me pics of him standing next to the car also a back view with the exhaust before I paid for it. Lollol I wonder if this guy would really order somthing on eBay or somthing knock off to shipped to japan and use it on his soarer. Does some companys in japan make knock off stuff?

JASMA stands for Japan Automotive Sports Muffler Association it's not a brand so think of JASMA as CARB only for Japan.

Is there any reason to not think it could be custom instead of ebay?

Whatever it is, it is well made and will probably super loud as it has no resonators! + Single exit great for NA-T

It is for sure e-bay as you can tell from the thin walled "stainless" which has a poor quality to it however it will do everything you need it to so as long as you do not drive it in the salt and snow as it will rust.
Also the thin flanges are a dead give away.
