[@BlazeOn88]

Very informative. And when in doubt, call your dealership. They should be able to tell you yes or no if you tell them what you plan to do. On the interior mods don't list, the seats are also a no. They have an occupancy sensor in them, so if you swap seats it will keep the SRS/air bag light on.

[@Smeedia]

Correct seats will alter the SRS System and the dealer is alqays a good option to ask when you have a question 🙏

As long as they approve and still cover it then your solid 🔥

[@RobHTech]

It's pretty easy to prove it though. Just get a Master Tech say so. Every dealer I called said a cat-back will not void anything; yet, SOA told me, "It might. It depends." Then went on that "Usually" when someone puts an after market exhaust, "They retune the ECU." So, if no retune, then a cat-back shouldn't void anything except warranty on the parts that have been replaced with the after market parts. Correct?

[@thexdeadpoolx]

The paint lines are torque stripes. Let's you know if a bolt or screw has lost its torque, due to vibration, just by looking at it. Its more of a Quality Assurance thing. Its a lot easier when inspecting the engine bay, to just look and see if all the stripes are still lined up, than it would be to go back through and put a torque wrench on everything again. Also helps keep track of which bolts you have already torqued when you are putting it all together

[@Smeedia]

Good to know havent used that method for that before but definitely going to start doing it now 😅

[@rfeyman3682]

Best modification I ever did on the brakes was to get quality covered stainless steel lines and Porterfield R4S brake pads. They dust like hell but OMG you can hammer them again and again with little to no brake fade.

Brake modifications are by far one of the best you can do 🔥

[@oliverharber12]

I got my 2019 sti last august right off the lot brand new. I got an extended warranty on it until 100k / 10 years. I’m at almost 12k now almost a year later and I’ve only put a catback exhaust, wheels, tires, engine bay dress up, and a bunch of small interior and exterior changes. So far it’s been flawless and is a great car unmodified. Prepare to be surprised, but I’ve never found myself wanting more from it. If I want to absolutely fly down the road and go ham I take out my fully built motor 6speed swap track ready 02 wrx out.

If I buy a STi from a subaru dealer can I ask them to scan to see if it had any tunes on it? The one I am looking at was supposedly owned by one of their techs. I just want to make sure I keep the factory warranty for a while since it is a 2020 and has 4 years and 35,000 miles left on the powertrain warranty. From the carfax it seems like it could be true that a tech owned, but I definitely want to quiz them about it and give it a good look over and test drive.

Not sure how their warranty program works, I would suggest emailing them to see what all is actually allowed. I've got another video covering what and why they would deny some claims. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGK7mWihfLuSopo

Going to roll up to Portland and get a accessport

@@Smeedia with my 2011 STI do I use a 91 octane map ...some places I can get 92 or 93 octane

[@Smeedia]

If you can get 93 I could suggest using that map and gas station 🙏

Sorry not really related to this video First is your hood altered or a new hood and if yes to either where did you get it? Also did you wrap your car if so it looks awesome Love the color thanks for your videos

Would a after market intercooler void my warranty on my 10th gen civic ??

[@iBoost13]

So boomba short shifter / shifter plate / Perrin shifter bushing / Perrin shifter stop voids warranty?

[@Smeedia]

All of them will void the drive train warranty but theyre worth it IMO
