Also, the update was likely finalized at least a few months in advance.

Fair point. Can also be minimum order contracts but I'm not too familiar with the manufacturing logistics.
Emissions doesn't makes sense unless it's on the administrative side. There's nothing measurable at the tailpipe that would prevent Subaru from using the red intake manifold.
