I found this in the parking lot today. My best guess is a turbo dump pipe and piping from an external wastegate (provided it’s been turbocharged; knowing what some people run around here, I wouldn’t doubt it).
Whatever it is, it looks ridiculous (I’m not sure in a good way or a bad way though).

I think it’s impressive commitment to already having the lowest resale value on a brand new car

Lose all the maybe turbo stuff and that will look pretty good.

There was a similar one that I saw around last year (maybe even the same one) that was lowered, running RPF1s, and without the turbo components. It looked quite nice.

Nah, I think you got it.

If it is turbocharged, you can find the owner by looking for the guy with two broken wrists (torque-steer joke).

Hater Pipes for days!!! The big one is the exhaust, the little one is probably the waste gate.

That’s what I thought. I wish I could have stuck around to find out!

What an abomination. Looks like the collars that mount the flaps have to come off just to open the hood.

I am guessing they are fake.

I thought that, too, but that dark stain looks a lot like carbon...
...the jury is still out as far as I’m concerned.

Not a good plan for something that is probably quite fiddly. I’m guessing the hood will need to be opened quite a bit...

They do sort of look fake, and the tacky front bumper lip sort of lends some support to that theory. At the same time it has some really nicely retrofitted headlights as well, and that tells me they should at least have some idea of what they’re doing.
Weird that it looks completely factory otherwise, right down to the OEM wheels neatly tucked inward of the fenders. It’s almost like they wanted to look stock, but then they went and did the lip and the hood exhaust which completely undoes that...?

As an old school Honda guy. Hard pass.

I really want that on my Camry.... Functional, of course.
