pop the 3 clips then you should be able to push the back side of the filter box back and slide the filter up and out. If you have the one that is next to the passanger side undo the clips, pull the tube off the right side and lift up the clip side a little then push it towards the engine a bit. Should pop off and then you filter

On my 03 there is also a retaining screw just to the right driver's side, on top of a small "Post", that has to be removed as well, to completely remove the filter housing......took me awhile to figure that one out also! Went to a K&N after that, much simpler.....

OHH.. forgot about that one... haven't had a N/A Subaru for about 8 years.
