Basically, modify it aside from disposable parts and it voids warranty. Like aftermarket oil filters, air filters, those things. Actually impacting the electrical system would be voiding of warranty. Now, if you bought a Mini Cooper, they would not deny the warranty. The actually have recommendations for mod places. It is a Subaru psychotic level of paranoia thing from what I gather reading this for half a year. In terms of Justice, you probably have a case. But Platonic ethics aside, they will screw us bad.

I have no idea what to do with your feelings and thoughts as I would never modify it. THree dealers is a lot of dealers. I dont know what to make of it.
Just to give you an example getting a cat back exhaust shouldn't void your warranty if your car starts burning oil or your coil packs go out. My issue with my footwell lights were solved once i gave Subaru a call and they said it has no effect on why my car wasn't shifting. After reading up on how many people were screwed over for a spun rod bearing failure (all stock) i just said screw the warranty and went FI. should have saved the 2k and put it towards something else lol
