What are you going to claim next, that leaning out the fuel with a performance tune won't degrade the cat? I'm not saying that cat life is or should be a high priority, but it's the same kind of statement--durability claims with insufficient data.
You use E85 with the stock fuel system at your own risk. It could cause problems in a year, or 10 years from now, or never. It's totally up in the air. We have no idea what the suppliers did for durability testing on E85 with the injectors or the pump.

Valid point. we're too new into the FR-S/BRZ to say it's a reliable modification or not... By altering my fuel type to E85 I take the risk of finding out. I already made modifications to my car and will continue to make more. To me it's not a major risk since the car doesn't cost much (compared to my others). So far E85 has been fun, but I am cautiously watching my fuel gauge... Fun times! Let's hope if my engine blows, I can buy a new one!
