Used to have a Power Engineering K&N induction kit. Swapped it for the sti panel filter. All of the performance and none of the Darf Vadar noises!

Induction kits can draw warm air in from the engine without a proper cold air feed.
They can also lean out the engine as well kill your MAF. This can be put done to poor filtration, excessive vibration and, as mentioned above, oil from the filter coating the MAF.
Stick with the original airbox and uprated filter.
If need be remove the resonator box in the OSF wing
Just to add people do run with induction kits and have no problems what-so-ever as well.
