FYI the ONLY difference between installing an F-sport part and paying the dealer insane $ per hour to do it is that the warranty ON THE F-SPORT PART gets extended to match the length of your cars warranty, rather than only being 1 year (and of course the actual labor of the install is warrantied, but that'd be true anywhere)


On top of that, it's a violation of federal law to deny warranty coverage on a new car because an aftermarket part is installed, unless that part is the -cause- of the problem.

Even if it is the cause they only get to deny coverage of that issue, not on anything else.

Neither intake nor exhaust would've had any impact whatsoever on your steering issue, even if you weren't using Lexus parts (which you are).
