These Common Lexus Mods Are Destroying Engines

You see it all the time on Lexus forums. "Just installed a cold air intake and my car feels so much faster!" "Got my ECU tuned! Added 40 horsepower!" "Lowered my Lexus 2 inches, looks aggressive now!" and you think, "Cool, that sounds awesome. I should do that to my car," but here's what nobody tells you: some of the most popular Lexus modifications are actively destroying engines. I'm not talking about safe mods. I'm not talking about cosmetic changes. I'm talking about engine modifications that people think will make their car better, but actually slowly murder their engine. I've been a mechanic for over 15 years. I've seen Lexus engines with catastrophic damage because of modifications that seemed harmless at the time. Engines that could've lasted 400,000 miles, completely destroyed at 120,000 because of a mod gone wrong. Pistons with holes in them. Cylinder walls scored and damaged. Bearings spun from lack of lubrication. All because someone thought they were making their car better. In this video, I'm showing you the 9 most common Lexus modifications that are actively destroying engines, why they're dangerous, and what you should do instead if you want to modify your Lexus without killing it. Some of these mods are so popular that you've probably seen them online. Others are regional trends that I've watched destroy car after car. ► SUBSCRIBE:    / @everythinglexus   #LexusMaintenance #LexusMechanic #LexusCare #LexusOwners Ready to get the most out of your Lexus?
