is there somewhere I can find the void to warranties? Does adding tiny things like a BOV affect warranty? thanx

Unless it can be found that the modification directly effected something going wrong with the car, modifications should not automatically void warranty.

Others here may be able to provide more info and examplees. Some dealerships will look the other way on mods, others will stick it to you.

there's no definite list, as warranty claims are each unique. that having been said, I'll also say this, if you go in with a claim having something to do with your transmission, and you've made some suspension modifications, it's not unheard of for them to deny the claim and try to say that you abuse your car and are a "racer" regardless of whether or not it's true, and when this is done it's extremely difficult to get even a legitimate claim without going to court.

Well i'm planning to take it in for servicing on my second gear cause it acts up from time to time. but if i add a BOV, are they going to give me the BS hassle?

why add a bov in the first place? they really shouldn't hassle you about it, but if youre dead set on doing it, then just wait until after you take it in.

I am taking it back to the dealer cause my second gear is a little wonky! i am the second owner. How do I know if warranty will apply to the problem. The car only has 16k kms. The second gear sounds like it's grinding and stuff. werid.

What about those performance parts that offter by SOA?or refer as SPT. Can they claime you abuse the car and deny the warrenty service when you have their parts installed?Let's just assume you order the parts and install them at the dealership.

SPT parts which are installed by a dealer are warrantied by Subaru. They also do not void your warranty. However, they are much more expensive.
