Actually, if the dealer installed the STi short shifter, it would void your warranty.
It would void your shifter's warranty, and certain problems you could develop with your gearbox. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, the rest of it is intact.
Unless Subaru just doesn't feel like honoring the law. You know like, how my exhaust made them install the wrong grease in the CV joint during manufacturing. According to the M-M Act, they had to prove that my exhaust caused the leak in my axle... and they were "very confident in their decision" to deny my warranty claim based on my exhaust and the now infamous "B" sticker.

If you want to keep your warranty, never touch a thing on your own car. Bring it to the dealer for everything. Granted, you'll spend 4 times as much money as you need to, and the car will probably be more jacked up than if you did all the work right the 1st time yourself, but at least that all important warranty woud still be intact. I'm through w/ warranties. Unless you've got access to a pro-bono lawyer, they're unenforcable.
