My dealer said it'll void the warranty for that part. For instance, you put a catback, you no longer have an exhaust warranty. You slam your car, your suspension isn't covered. I'm not sure how an intake would effect the motor warranty.. I haven't touched mine

Go OEM, if you want to keep warranty.

So will putting an F-Sport catback void the warranty?

Do they make FSport catbacks? I thought they only made axlebacks.

I got the F-Sport OEM exhaust and installed by Lexus. They said that my warranty would not be voided because I stuck with an OEM exhaust and the install was performed by Lexus too. Also, my exhaust is covered under warranty as well.
