except that the engine can only take in so much air by itself. too big of an air filter won't help you out, it'll actually create another restriction. |
how would be be a restriction if theres more air available? if you put a giant air filter on it, it would be almost like running with no filter at all...are you going to tell me that thats a restriction too?
all of the air the engine needs is there - and then some more. how would that hurt at all? |
You don't need a 5-foot long filter to get more air. the engine will only take as much as it can handle on its own, unless you're using forced induction. the only people i see with HUGE filters are ricers who don't know any better. A larger filter does not always mean it will flow more air. You only need a certain size, any larger and you're just wasting money.
