Only if you do a river crossing with a Cold Air Intake.
Otherwise they are great.

Pretty sure the car comes standard with a cold air intake.
Do you mean pod filter. If its a non enclosed pod filter then its likely to draw in hot air from the engine bay and therefore, yes, less power.

The stock air box in the late model wrx's, lib's, foz's are very well designed and efficient and based on reading and my own experience. An aftermarket CAI depending on design may also create varying degrees of difficulty in tuning as well. My tuner confirmed this to me on two different occasions.
I do believe that CAI may in some cases be needed once you upgrade to a large turbo however. It also makes some great noise if nothing else.

like i said, its the tuning that makes the difference, not just the CAI, if you stuck a CAI on a car without tuning it it wouldn't make that much extra power and you'd be risking doing damage due to the change in flow etc... you're talking about a car with a Full Exhaust, Extractors and Tuning.... Not just fitting a CAI like this thread originally requested
