HKS drop in air filter

Stainless steel brake lines
Carbotech xp10 brake pads
JDM exhaust tips
Hankook RS3
As you can see no modifications unless you want to argue the air filter and sound tube delete, everything towards the engine is stock.
Subaru tech line said they had never heard of this issue. My dealer is asking me to give them 150 for the engine teardown to find out the problem and I am sure they will find a problem and after they do find a problem with the injector seals they will warranty it and it will cost me nothing/refund 150. That is if they don't play any funny games and try to screw me over.
Question is should I buy the parts and fix it myself OR pay my dealer the 150 and have them find the issue (if they dont try to screw me) and refund me my 150 after they find the injector seal issue and perhaps document it to help hurry up the posting of the TSB.

Don't trust them. They will most certainly take your money. Make them do the tear down on their own dime. Under the Magnuson Moss act (with is federally enforced), they cannot deny warranty work unless they can prove the modifications caused the problem. Seeing as it's clear as day that this is false, they'd lose.
Also, I think you need a special tool to swap the seals. One that only dealers have right now.
I say push back, threaten law suit.
