Jama exhaust questions
« on: June 25, 2023, 03:29:46 PM »
Bought a 550k that was sitting since the 80s. Has a exhaust that says jama original, can't find much info on it.

Guy selling it said people were offering decent money for it in it's condition.

Anyone here know more about it? Might list it for sale.

Jama is an aftermarket exhaust, does it slip on to the original headers?    The seller said it was worth "decent money"?  I never believe a seller, I would bet it's not worth as much as the Honda original exhaust.

No way, original will be worth much more than any aftermarket. The only thing close would be reproduction aftermarket and those are hard to find for these.

Appears as if headers are something else. What are they?

Looks similar to what we called the "spagetti" exhaust.

Jama sold tons of them. Good Dutch quality product.
