Product Overview
Spoon Sports Exhaust B-Pipe EP3 DC5 – Honda Civic & Integra Type R
The Spoon Sports Exhaust B-Pipe EP3 DC5 (18220-DC5-001) is a performance exhaust centre section developed for the Honda Civic Type R EP3 and Honda Integra Type R DC5.
Designed by renowned Japanese Honda tuning specialist Spoon Sports, this exhaust B-pipe combines carefully selected pipe dimensions, efficient exhaust-gas flow and effective silencing to complement Honda’s naturally aspirated K20 engine.
Whether you’re restoring your Honda’s ageing exhaust system, upgrading a fast-road Civic Type R or building a track-focused Integra DC5, this genuine Spoon Sports exhaust component offers a premium alternative to the standard centre section.
Why Choose the Spoon Sports Exhaust B-Pipe EP3 DC5?
The Spoon Sports B-pipe is engineered to support efficient exhaust flow while maintaining compatibility with suitable original exhaust components.
Its 60.5mm diameter is selected for the application rather than simply maximising pipe size. This helps provide a balanced exhaust configuration suited to Honda’s high-revving K-Series platform.
The silencer is positioned towards the front of the exhaust section, where exhaust temperatures are higher. Spoon Sports uses this arrangement to support effective silencing and stable exhaust pressure.
Key Benefits
- Optimised Exhaust Flow: Designed to support efficient movement of exhaust gases through the centre section.
- 60.5mm Pipe Diameter: Application-specific sizing for compatible K20-powered Honda vehicles.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Suitable for a performance exhaust application.
- Improved Exhaust Character: Can contribute to a more pronounced sporting exhaust note, depending on the rear silencer and overall system.
- Flexible Compatibility: Can work with compatible factory rear exhaust components or Spoon Sports tail silencers.
- Manufacturer-Listed 9kg Weight: Provides a documented specification for comparing against your existing exhaust component.
- Japanese Performance Engineering: Developed by Spoon Sports for the EP3 and DC5 platforms.
Designed for Honda K20 Performance
The Honda K20 engine is renowned for its high-revving character, responsive performance and VTEC power delivery.
Exhaust design plays an important role in how the engine breathes, particularly when combined with other modifications.
The Spoon Sports Exhaust B-Pipe EP3 DC5 is designed to form part of a balanced exhaust system rather than being an oversized universal pipe.
For owners pursuing further naturally aspirated performance, it can complement compatible exhaust manifolds, intake upgrades and professional ECU calibration.
Actual power and torque improvements depend on the complete vehicle specification and are not guaranteed by fitting the B-pipe alone.
Honda Civic Type R EP3 Exhaust Upgrade
For UK Honda enthusiasts, the Civic Type R EP3 remains one of the most popular K20-powered performance hatchbacks.
The UK-market EP3 uses the 2.0-litre K20A2 i-VTEC engine, making it a popular platform for fast-road and track-day modifications.
This Spoon Sports exhaust centre pipe is suitable for compatible EP3 Type R applications, including the earlier and later EP3 chassis versions listed by Spoon Sports.
It is an attractive option for replacing a worn centre section while retaining a compatible standard rear silencer or upgrading to a Spoon Sports exhaust configuration.
Honda Integra Type R DC5 Exhaust Upgrade
The Spoon Sports B-pipe is also designed for the Honda Integra Type R DC5 equipped with the naturally aspirated K20A engine.
Although the DC5 Type R was originally a Japanese-market vehicle, many examples have been imported into the United Kingdom.
Owners of compatible DC5 Type R imports can use this Spoon Sports centre section as part of an exhaust upgrade, subject to confirmation of the existing exhaust layout.
Compatible with Standard and Spoon Sports Exhaust Components
One important advantage of the Spoon Sports B-pipe is its flexibility.
The manufacturer specifies original-equivalent flange standards, allowing compatibility with suitable factory muffler arrangements.
Alternatively, the B-pipe can be paired with the compatible Spoon Sports tail silencer to create a more comprehensive exhaust system.
Before installation, check exhaust joints, gaskets, hangers, catalytic converter connections and any existing aftermarket modifications.
