Default Is my Exhaust make good?

When cleaning the car recently, I made out the logo on the huge Exhaust tip - JAZMA. I looked through my service history and came across the diagram for my exhaust - cat back.

The piping is huge, i'm guessing 3". Are JAZMA good? I've never heard of them?

The exhaust isn't the standard one though, it's a 5" slash cut back box, and the piping is bigger than standard, or am I being thick

JASMA don't actually make the exhausts just make sure they comply with japanese law (so Blitz,HKS etc have JASMA approval)
Translated version of http://www.jasma.org/

Not the best translation but you get the jist

May sound thick, but whats the easiest way to find out the thickness of the piping?

I suppose the easiest way is to remove the backbox and that should leave you with easy view of the centre secion (i'm guessing by the way)
