Depends on the dealership and what your trying to get them to fix.

Note also that dealerships cannot void your warranty. Only SOA can do that. Dealerships can deny you warranty service, however.

so if im catless and my cv boot is torn is that a void or should it be covered?

It should be covered. The only way they could deny it is if what you installed caused the failure... and in this case that would be pretty hard to prove. But you do run the risk of them documenting your mods and denying warranty work down the road.

I had the same issue...leaky cv boot. I brought it in with stage 2 and loud ass exhaust, no issues on warrenty. The service manager even told me how nice the car sounded.

The non Subaru exhaust should not void your warranty, unless the defect is a direct result of installing the exhaust. Something unrelated
should have no bearing on the car as a whole. The fact that a non Subaru part was installed cannot void your warranty. There is a federal law protecting the consumer in that type of situation, unless the part itself was defective and lead to a failure of some kind. Diagnostic fees are fairly common and should be explained to you up front by the dealer.

My dealer installed my catless system for me.
