No, an intake is not always a 'ricer' mod.
Ricer mods are crappy jobs done on the cheap with knockoff parts; for instance, putting a $30 APC knockoff shorty intake on your WRX and not turning for it is a ricer mod. Throwing on an eBay 19.99 BOV is a ricer mod. Putting giant neon-colored grounding wires all over your engine bay is a ricer mod.
Buying a quality-made, lab-tested part and having your engine pro-tuned to work with that part is not a ricer mod.

Intake without bigger turbo on a wrx = ghey, the car is so much easier to tune, and it will run so much better with the factory airbox.
Intakes, on next to stock cars are ricer mods, +2

Generally you won't see large HP gains with an air intake. That's why Mine's in Japan hardly ever uses them. Don't believe I have ever seen a Mines tuned car that did not still have the facorty box, with just a higher quality filter element in there.
