New to Subaru and mods

So I have a 13 Sti hatch and I have a few questions about mods.

1. What mods will void my warranty.

2. I don't like the dual stock exhaust and want a single pipe, suggestions.

3. Questions about the CAI and the tuning it needs.(Also, idk what the stages mean)

Thanks and sorry for the noobry.

1. What mods will void my warranty. Not 1 thing will void your entire warranty.

2. I don't like the dual stock exhaust and want a single pipe, suggestions. No comment here

3. Questions about the CAI and the tuning it needs.(Also, idk what the stages mean) Look into a Short Ram for now.

Thanks and sorry for the noobry.
You looking into engine management? What are you wanting out of the car? Post pics too.

Not really, just a nice sound with exterior mods. Rims, tinted head/tail lights etc...

Maybe a CAI and a BOV for engine mods.

No bueno on the BOV (research this for your car and what they do).

A CAI is the same (without EM and/or a tune).

Most of the concepts still apply to the third gen (08+) models

I hate when all people want is a BOV cause it "sounds cool" and a CAI cause they saw one at the local auto parts store. Not bashing the thread starter but were here to steer you in the right direction! I'd pick up a cobb accessport to start!
