As an extreme novice when it comes to modding my car, the friends I’ve met at car meets have helped me do a lot of these. Muffler deletes, 1” lowering springs, short shift with shift stop (installed myself), and a cold air intake with Stage 1 tune... which of course is pretty risky on the warranty but I haven’t had a problem so far. They did tell me not to go to Stage 2 though. I’d like to do lights next. Maybe for Christmas.

[@jonathanfarin3193]

When buying my car I had already decided it would be THE car to travel with. Didn’t want more Horse power. But so far I have Tein Flex A coilovers, XXR wheels, and ht lip kit. I also took the base headlights and blacked them out and install diode dynamics c lights. All parts bought from Subiespeed. Thanks guys! So far my car has gone up PCH to Big Sur and recently, before al the fires, to Sequoia! Love my car!

[@MotoMayhem]

Was thinking about this today lmao! So weird Also, a top 5 mods for overall reliability would be cool!

[@connordunckel8544]

I got so excited seeing the wrx on the lift because I could tell it had the same exact exhaust I have. At first I thought it was only okay but now that it's broken in it sounds awesome and am not disappointed I didn't go with the corsa. Waiting to see how it is in a couple weeks when I add a j pipe and get it tuned.

[@paulmarsdensr8199]

That AWE cat back exhaust sounds awesome. Great videos. Subies forever. Stay safe brother 🙏.

Great video. Smart to take suggest mods that won't negatively impact the existing warranty. Well done!

[@jermainejpshepherd2778]

Gr8 vid. Most folks don't know that even Subaru can't void your warranty just CAUSE you mod a car. Now they can undoubtedly void it if a mod you've done caused an issue with the car's proper operation. Magnuson Moss Act, read it folks.

ayee i got AWE sti catback before this video was made! its one of those exhuasts that arent on the front page and majority of people dont know/have them. Its super unique, its super sexy, and isnt muddy or high pitched like nvidia and others

[@dave5point0]

Suspension can void warranties. When you change the angle of the axles entering the diffs, they can say that effects it, and void transmission/diff warranty. Might want a disclaimer there.....

[@Yardsale17]

Dave Chamberlain I second this I spoke with my dealership and they said basically the same thing, “ it won’t void your warranty, but if we do an investigation and find your cv axles are at some crazy angle they should be ran at, it would be voided.” But if your just doing it as a performance upgrade you should be fine so basically don’t dump your car an inch off the ground. That’s what I got out of it.

[@ryanarch7366]

Dave Chamberlain I think with the 3 year 36k miles bumper to bumper it would void, but I think Kevin stated in the video he’s taking about the 5 year 60k engine and trans which wouldn’t be affected by suspension if I’m thinking correctly

[@dave5point0]

Ryan Arch I’m specifically calling out the fact that the front diff/trans will not be happy with low car and the angle the axles enter.

[@remissiveslave]

@@dave5point0 what jack ass wants this lower? It's already difficult enough not bottoming out stock and for a winter car, that's utterly retarded. Idc, not my money being burned over a open fire, but shit. This car went from rally to every tight Jean wearing fruitcake in 10 years.

[@raginmason9391]

[@MzRtS12]

Honestly the Perrin trunk handles are pretty sweet if you actually use your trunk as a daily car. Also any way to release the turbo noises without swapping the intake? 😅

[@tylerbunten7968]

I just got a 21 impreza sport super new to Subaru's and the car is very nice but slow I know. But it was the same price with like 100 miles on it versus a used wrx with 30k miles. I think lll trade it in after the loan is up and get a new wrx. But I'm glad to hear I can do a cat back and body stuff thanks for the info great video!

[@alexanderh.999]

What kind of suspension would you recommend if I want an upgrade vs stock if I do not want to lower the car?

[@ryanarch7366]

Cobb drivetrain package (shifter plate, bushing, and shift stop) is my favorite. A pain to install the plate, but worth it 🤙

[@sendjamin]

I’ve heard that bushing is also pretty hard to install, how was it?

[@ryanarch7366]

Benja Poupin bushing was simple and not difficult, instructions were pretty detailed.

[@sendjamin]

Ryan Arch fosho, just thought itd be harder being on top of the trans lol but they’re pretty cheap might get one

[@ryanarch7366]

Benja Poupin for the VA WRX it’s on the side. Super accessible. I think you just remove one heat shield and get some pliers to remove a pin to pop it off. For the money, the bushing and shift stop can’t be beat.

[@sendjamin]

Ryan Arch already got the shift stop so might as well go for the bushing

[@EvilJ069]

Panavise fitment shows up to '14 for that part but they have nothing for '15 -'21. If the video car is 15+, that'll open up the use of the part for my '21. Thank you.

[@BrianD0313]

When I bought my car, I purchased an extended warranty up to 8 years. Other than the time, I wonder if this warranty includes anything else other than the warranty you are referring to. I find it interesting how suspension mods don't void the warranty. So if a coilover or swaybar fails, causing serious damage to car components, then the manufacturer would still have to honor the warranty and replace those damaged OEM parts? Seems a bit sketchy to me. Does the warranty not even cover suspension?

[@KaoticEdits]

Should be picking up my murdered out black 22 wrx this week and am super excited. Dealer said it's one of only 3 within nearly 100 km of my city, they've had such a hard time getting new cars. Hoping I'm able to mod the exhaust, I dont want loud but I want a more refined sound. Other than that I just want a bit wider deep dish rims in dark bronze and a lip/skirt, maybe upgrade the lights and def gonna get the audio system upgraded. All in good time, but I'm stoked. I drove a 2001 outback up until it died in 2020 and thought I might get a Benz or bmw or audi but it's hard to beat the reliability of a subie, especially up here in the great white north.

My experience is that a warranty is completely worthless anyways. Basically a false sense of security. Any time I’ve ever had an issue I got the “well it’s wear and tear, so it’s not covered” line.

[@wrxTO]

"Voiding the warranty" is not exactly the right term. Subaru may deny certain claims because it is directly or indirectly impacted by the modification. But it would be rare that one mod would void entire engine and drivetrain warranty.
