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.

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.

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

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?

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.

So preforming basic maintenance shouldn’t void the warranty, right? I prefer to do my own oil changes, coolant flushes. I don’t feel like waiting hours for a simple job I can do.

Potentially yes, whenever the AP is installed onto the ECU is changes the PID # so dealers and Subsru of America can see its been tuned or flashed

I wonder... If you swapped the transmission to same year/model outside of the dealership does that void my engines powertrain warranty or affect the engine oil consumption recall ? Its running perfectly, do I have disclose I swapped the transmission to the dealer? will they even know?

Great video! So I just wanted to clarify would a down pipe/ j pipe void the warranty? I remember watching your “stages” video for the COBB tune and is it required to tune the car when installing the down pipe/j pipe?

It is required to tune the car and replacing any piece of exhaust that has a cat in it will void your warranty 😖
