STi Short Throw Question

So I was watching a review video of a 2013 WRX on youtube and the driver stated that the car had the STI short throw installed. My paperwork on my 2013 WRX states I have the shifter installed. I noticed however that the shift knob is different on the WRX in the video (has the STI logo) Mine does not. The throws feel pretty long but I figured that may be how WRX's are even with the STI short throw. I haven't driven any other WRX's except for mine. Is there anyway to tell if I actually have the short throw or is my paperwork incorrect?

SAVE TIME and the view of the shifter is at 6:30ish

Review: 2013 Subaru WRX - YouTube



Sorry I was at work earlier and they don't like us youtubing at work.
The paperwork states "Sti Short Throw Shift 5m/T 369.00"
Basically that's it besides gas which was "included"
I bought a base model with nothing extra besides the short throw. The video just got me thinking since I have never driven one without one

The "STI short shifter" only shortens throws by 10%ish anyway. It's not that much of a difference. Aftermarket such as Cobb or a Kartboy short shifter will make a lot more difference.

It's a legitimate question and should/could be posted anywhere in my view. If they are less receptive the fault is theirs, not yours, though to be fair they too might answer the same way.
