^^^^^^Lol well there you go and more of a reason to get headers..........but that being said, that's an extreme case you pulled from Google and not what we've seen from this issue with the ISF. The majority of cracked manifolds (broken flanges) including mine that have happened are the welds on the flange breaking off and not necessarily the example you provided above, though could happen, but hasn't really been documented here on CL that I know of.
he’ll be ISFASTERer if he had headers though...

All I was trying to say is the price and the hassle doest justify the gains at least for me in Cali. Our cars are capable of 0-60 stock at 4.4 - 4.6 with the right driver and tires. Daily drivers usually don't go 130mph but it does improve top end flow. I enjoy the short burst since there is mad traffic here and is sucide trying to race on our freeways.

Others like myself will take the upgrade option when there is an additional reason to do so such as problems with the OEM headers/gasket etc.
Given the expense/labour required to do the swap, only price can justify fixing the OEM setup or replacing with another set of OEM. I didnt want further issues down the track mucking around with my OEM header setup so chose the PPE route (more $$ upfront but less headache in the long run).
Ps Whilst getting this done, have a look at your engine mounts as its the best time to replace if required given your subframe is dropped

Cracked manifold
so I drop my 2011 with 73k at the dealer today for the possible cracked manifold. $156 diagnose fee, refundable if they warranty through the California 8 year 80k emissions. While doing walk around , they asked about any mods. Yes, figs engine mounts and lower control arm bushings.... Sir, that might pose a problem as your car has been modified... Nice
Fingers crossed they don’t get stupid
Update.... South Bay Lexus performed the inspection and have agreed to replace both sides , did not bring up the aftermarket parts. Said the repairs will be warrantied under the California emission 8 year 80k warranty. They did mention I had a qualifying VIN... Good news for me
Fingers crossed they don’t get stupid

They're flat out CROOKS. I just had a bunch of recalls done on my 2008 ISF with full bolt ons and some suspension mods. The service writer was interested in all of them and impressed with what I had done. You may want to name your dealer so the rest of us can stay away from them. You may want to tell the dealer you're spreading the word on his BS. $156. diagnostic fee - Remember what Miss Daisy said
