That is a real intake and V band clamp. I can't tell about the filter flange though, you would have to take a picture of it without the filter. The filter isn't correct, if you want the correct part 17220-XGS-0000, you can get it from RHDJapan(currently on sale). I would suggest that you throw away that intake arm and get a Samco one. I would also suggest that you take the intake to someone that knows composites and have it repaired.

A lot of missing parts:

Yes, the intake is real. It's 2x2 dry carbon, fake ones are 1x1 weave carbon fiber over fiber glass(smooth black inside). Have any pictures of the metal filter flange?

Yeah the carbon pattern is correct for a real one but the filter isn’t right and like jack said missing all of the hardware. Hope it’s really really cheap.

The MUGEN filter might not fit your filter flange. Please take a picture of the side where the filter is installed(remove filter first).

It should look like this:
