For the 10 minutes (Maybe) it takes to remove the Steeda intake and throw the stocker on just do it.
On the other hand, make sure there is NO RUBBER in your rear fender wells. Thats a sign of abusive driving and will void your warrantee.
BTW, I bet your gear box whines in 1-4 and in 6th, but not 5th? Sound correct? It's too much play in your counter shaft. If they can't fix it, they should replace your gear box FOC.

NOTHING and I mean nothing can void your warranty, EVER.
A dealer can choose to NOT COVER something IF they can prove that an aftermarket part caused something to go wrong or if you abused it.

To clarify for anyone reading - no, your warranty cannot be void for something like that, lol..

I know for a FACT my warranty got denied because of the rubber in my rear fenderwells. It was a sign of abusive driving which canceled it. I won the fact that the pulleys, k&n and exhaust all helped gas mileage. I had tore up the shift forks in my T5 and that's why I brought it in. I still own the fox.
Now if there is a recall on something then that's a different story.

They can CHOOSE to not cover an issue, but can NOT void your warranty.

Rubber naturally degrades over time, tires spin due to ice, being cold out, etc. It's highly unlikely you'd never have rubber end up on the rear fender in a rear wheel drive car over the course of it's lifetime, when driven in any kind of frequency.
You got lied to - unfortunately that's the only fact here.

Those morons MUST first PROVE that whatever mods you put on caused the failure. And for abusive driving, they must also prove that too, and rubber on the fender is not enough.
If no action is given then, it would be time to make a formal complaint to Ford Customer Relations. They will crack the whip and get the ball rolling.
And if anyone ever dares to tell you that your warranty is void, ever, on ANY car, be it a Chevy, Dodge, or even the S***tyest Kia, say this number to them: 15 U.S.C. § 2301. The is the Federal LAW that ensures our warranties and consumer protection.

Your right the entire warranty didn't go out the window. But I did leave the Ford dealership with my car on a flat bed with the transmission issue now being my responsibility 100%.
Trust me, there was plenty of melted rubber in the fenderwell and in my paperwork that's what stated voided my repair. I lived in south Florida at the time and it rarely gets cold there and no such thing as ice. This goes back so many years ago.
Back to the OP, good luck with your car. The issue I mentioned in my first post with the tranny making noises in 1-4 and 6th gears only was a separate issue we had with our in house 2011 5 liter. There is a issue going around with them.

Hell, you should have told them that is a spray-on coating to reduce noise!
