So I went in for an oil change at the dealer where I bought my 2012 WRX. I noticed a display case in the service department that had some accessories for the WRX/STI. One of the accessories was a Cobb AP for $595, I asked the service guy about using the AP and my warranty. He said I could go stage 1 and they would honor the warranty but as soon as I mod the engine/exhaust ie DP, stage 2, the warranty goes bye bye...He said they would even do the flash for me if I bought the AP. I thought it was funny that a Subaru dealer was selling the Cobb AP but I guess you can run some maps and it will not affect your warranty, atleast at my dealer......what`s your thoughts about going to a stage 1 with the AP, I want to keep my warranty......
