Japspeed Performance Parts for Japanese Car Enthusiasts 🚗🔥
If you're the kind of person who hears an exhaust note from two streets away and immediately wants to know what car it is… welcome. 😎
For Japanese car enthusiasts, modifying a car isn't always about making it faster.
Sometimes it's about the sound.
Sometimes it's the stance.
Sometimes it's handling.
And sometimes you simply want your car to feel more like your car.
That's where Japspeed comes in.
The brand specialises in performance parts for Japanese cars, with a range covering exhaust systems, manifolds, downpipes, suspension components, wheel spacers, intercoolers and other upgrades. Its current online shop lists more than 400 products.
🚗 About Japspeed
Japspeed positions itself around Japanese performance cars and aims to provide performance parts at competitive prices.
The range covers a huge variety of popular enthusiast platforms, including:
-
🇯🇵 Honda
-
🇯🇵 Toyota
-
🇯🇵 Nissan
-
🇯🇵 Subaru
-
🇯🇵 Mazda
-
🇯🇵 Mitsubishi
-
🇯🇵 Lexus
The current catalogue includes everything from relatively simple upgrades to larger exhaust and turbo-related components.
And that's probably the biggest attraction.
You can browse by vehicle, rather than trying to figure out whether a random universal part will fit your car.
🔥 Performance Exhausts
Let's start with the obvious one.
Exhausts.
Japspeed currently offers performance exhaust systems ranging from cat-back systems to turbo-back setups, manifolds, downpipes and back boxes.
An exhaust upgrade can change one of the most noticeable characteristics of a modified car:
The sound. 🔊
But it's not only about making your car louder.
Exhaust design can affect:
-
Exhaust flow
-
Sound character
-
Weight
-
Throttle response
-
Overall performance characteristics
Japspeed's exhaust catalogue currently includes applications for cars such as the Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic Type R, Nissan 350Z, Mazda MX-5, Mitsubishi Evo and Toyota Supra.
🏁 Cat-Back Exhaust Systems
For many enthusiasts, a cat-back system is an attractive starting point.
Why?
Because you're upgrading the exhaust system downstream of the catalytic converter while changing the car's sound and exhaust characteristics.
Current Japspeed examples include:
-
Honda Civic FN2 Type R
-
Toyota GT86
-
Subaru BRZ
-
Honda S2000
-
Nissan 350Z
-
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
-
Toyota Supra Mk4
-
Mazda RX-8
-
Lexus IS200
Prices vary considerably depending on vehicle and system.
🛠️ Exhaust Manifolds
If you're going deeper into a performance build, the manifold becomes another interesting area.
Japspeed currently lists manifolds for cars including the:
-
Honda Civic EP3
-
Honda Integra DC5
-
Honda Civic EP1/EP2
-
Mitsubishi Colt CZT
-
Toyota Supra
-
Lexus IS200
Different manifold designs can influence exhaust gas flow and the way the engine behaves, so compatibility and the rest of your setup matter.
💨 Downpipes & Turbo Builds
Turbocharged cars bring another level of modification.
Japspeed's current downpipe range includes applications for cars such as the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Nissan 200SX, Nissan Skyline, Mitsubishi Evo, Toyota GR Yaris and Mazda RX-8.
For turbocharged vehicles, exhaust flow is particularly important to the overall system.
But here's the important part:
Don't choose a downpipe based purely on price or sound.
Check your vehicle, engine, turbo setup, emissions requirements and intended use first.
Some decat components can also have legal/emissions implications depending on where you live and how the vehicle is used.
🏎️ Suspension & Handling
Power is fun.
But handling is what lets you actually enjoy that power.
Japspeed's wider performance catalogue includes suspension-related upgrades alongside its exhaust products.
Depending on your car and build, suspension upgrades can help you focus on:
-
Handling
-
Stability
-
Cornering
-
Body control
-
Driving feel
And honestly, a balanced car can be much more enjoyable than one with a huge horsepower number but questionable handling.
🛞 Wheel Spacers
Want to change the stance?
Wheel spacers are another modification available from Japspeed.
The brand currently lists forged aluminium hubcentric wheel spacers for various Japanese applications, including Toyota, Honda and other platforms.
The right spacer can alter wheel fitment and visual stance, but this isn't an area where you want to guess.
Always verify:
-
Hub diameter
-
Bolt pattern
-
Stud/bolt thread
-
Spacer thickness
-
Wheel clearance
-
Brake clearance
And make sure the finished setup remains safe and legal for your vehicle.
❄️ Cooling & Intercooler Upgrades
Performance builds generate heat.
That's why cooling deserves attention too.
Japspeed's catalogue includes performance radiators, intercooler-related products and other cooling components.
For example, the current Lexus IS200 range includes an aluminium radiator, while the Mazda RX-8 range includes an aluminium high-flow radiator and radiator fan/shroud kit.
This is a good reminder that building a performance car isn't just about horsepower.
Heat management matters.
🇯🇵 Popular Japanese Platforms
One thing that makes browsing Japspeed interesting is the vehicle-specific catalogue.
Honda Civic Type R ❤️
The Civic Type R has long been a favourite platform for modifications.
Japspeed currently lists products for both EP3 and FN2 generations, including exhaust manifolds, cat-back systems and wheel spacers.
Lexus IS200 🖤
The IS200 catalogue currently includes:
-
Cat-back exhaust
-
Decat manifold
-
Downpipe
-
Sports cat pipe
-
Aluminium radiator
-
Front strut brace
That's a pretty useful selection for someone building an IS200.
Mazda RX-8 🌀
Rotary fans aren't exactly known for leaving their cars stock.
Japspeed currently lists RX-8 exhaust systems, manifolds, downpipes and cooling products.
Subaru Impreza 🏔️
The catalogue includes multiple Impreza WRX/STI exhaust components, including turbo-back systems and downpipes.
🔧 Building a Modification Plan
Here's where I'd avoid the classic mistake:
Buying random parts because they look cool.
Instead, build a plan.
Stage 1 — Sound & Appearance
Start with:
-
Exhaust
-
Backbox
-
Wheel spacers where appropriate
-
Small cosmetic changes
Stage 2 — Handling
Then consider:
-
Suspension
-
Strut braces
-
Wheel/tyre setup
-
Alignment
Stage 3 — Engine Performance
For a more serious build:
-
Intake
-
Exhaust manifold
-
Downpipe
-
Intercooler
-
Cooling
-
ECU tuning where appropriate
The exact order depends heavily on your vehicle and engine.
🛍️ Shopping by Vehicle
One of the most useful features of Japspeed's website is the ability to browse products around specific vehicles.
Instead of starting with:
"Which exhaust should I buy?"
Start with:
"What fits my car?"
That's a much better question.
From there, you can compare the available exhaust, cooling, suspension and other performance components for your specific platform.
💷 Japspeed Pricing
Japspeed's current catalogue covers a broad price range.
For example, current listings include:
-
Universal lambda sensor fooler — £19.99
-
Wheel spacers — around £74.99–£79.99 for listed applications
-
Exhaust backboxes — around £209.99+
-
Exhaust manifolds — around £199.99+
-
Cat-back exhaust systems — around £349.99+
-
Larger performance exhaust setups — £500+ depending on application
These are examples from current listings rather than a universal price range.
Prices and stock can change, so check the individual product page before ordering.
📦 UK-Based Stock
Another useful point for UK buyers is that Japspeed says its comprehensive product range is stocked in its UK-based warehouse.
The company says this is intended to make ordering easier without unexpected import duties.
For international customers, however, it's still worth checking current shipping terms before ordering.
🧰 Installation: DIY or Professional?
This depends completely on the component.
A simple accessory may be manageable for an experienced DIY enthusiast.
An exhaust manifold, downpipe, suspension component or other major performance part is a different story.
If you're not completely confident:
Get a professional to install it.
A poorly installed performance component can create problems that cost much more to fix than the original installation.
⚠️ Check Compatibility Before Ordering
This is probably the most important advice in this entire article.
Don't order based only on:
"It's for a Civic."
You need the exact:
-
Generation
-
Engine
-
Model year
-
Transmission where relevant
-
Trim/specification
-
Existing modifications
For example, Japspeed lists different exhaust applications for different Civic Type R generations.
Always check the exact fitment information before purchasing.

🏁 Final Thoughts
Japspeed is clearly aimed at people who don't see their car as simply a way to get from A to B.
It's for the enthusiast who wants to experiment.
Change the sound.
Improve the stance.
Upgrade handling.
Improve airflow.
Build a project.
Or simply make an older Japanese car feel a little more special.
The current catalogue covers a surprisingly broad range of Japanese performance platforms, from Civic Type Rs and Lexus IS200s to Subaru Imprezas, Mazda RX-8s, Nissan Z cars and Toyota performance models.
The smartest approach is to start with your exact vehicle, decide what you want to improve, and then choose compatible components around that goal.
Because the best modification isn't necessarily the loudest one.
It's the one that makes your car more enjoyable to drive. 🏁🔥
