No idea what the law is in Canada.
It's the same BUT due to his non stock brakes and wheels, they can assume he brought his car to the track and broke the transmission due to that, why else would someone upgrade their brakes for the street when stock RS5 brakes are fine?

They don't care about the exhaust, but the brakes probably raised a flag and they probably assumed he was modified and reverted back to stock. I'm sure they rarely if not never seen the transmission fail on stock power.

I see nothing wrong with that, they have the right to void warranty if they deem it so, don't modify if you're worried about warranty.
