NISMO Oil Cap. +15 HP!?

Just got my NISMO oil cap today, along with some other things.

Obviously has no effect whatsoever on the power of the engine, but it is kind of neat in that it has a torque limiter so that you can't screw it on too tight, and it looks pretty good in the engine bay.

Edit: added in pictures, one of the entire engine cover, and one close in

The dealer is going to void your powertrain warranty.

And then I just punch them in the face, while quoting from the Magnuson-Moss warranty claims act, but hey, it's all good. I wouldn't be suprised if some dealers might try and pull something like that, though.

heh. No, thats only if you also apply the stickers that came with it to your car. Each sticker adds 5 hp. That's for the first 4 stickers. After that, you see diminishing returns, of 4 hp for the next 4, 3hp for the 4 after that, etc...

Well, duh, genius, it even says in my post that it has no effect on the engine. You are a bright one, but I'll give you some slack, this being your first post and all.
