It might be, ive seen drag trucks use a similar exhaust set-up. Its probably real, i don't see why they painted the turbo though. The pipes migth be photochopped though, looks a bit fake for some reason.

IDK? The big pipe is the exhaust, and the 2 smaller pipes are the wastgate dump tubes.

that looks 100% real until the dump tubes and the exhaust pipe...the exhaust pipe looks like real thin tubing towards the bottom and the dump tubes look like they are both unequal length and uneven angle.....if someone went through all that trouble fabricating that they would have atleast made them equal and at the same angle

looks legit to me.

That K series must have a **** ton of blow by though.

I've seen a mirage packing a 4g63 kind of setup like that before.

its photochopped, the exhaust area shows inperfections and plus the exhaust shows that its raised higher than the firewall , so no way would the hood be able to close. its FAKE!

Looks like a full race turbo kit with the sidewinder turbo manifold to me. With custom dump tubes. My friends setup looks very similar.

It looks real. You can see the engine and strut mount thing reflected in the exhaust.

As soon as people see anything different on a civic (which seems to have everything done to it already), they assume it is fake.
