Does a new air filter increase horsepower?
One of the benefits of a high flow air filter is that, unlike regular filters, you don’t have to change it every year. And if your engine is getting more air, then it can perform better. In fact, a high flow air filter can actually increase your horsepower by about 3 to 5 HP and increase your torque as well.
