Just wondering. I know some aftermarket companies say their air filter systems will give you 25 more horses because they have more flow. If this is the case. Why don't I get alot more power when the air cleaner system is completely off?
Because when the air is being sucked directly into the throttle body, its just like an unorganized mass of air. With an intake system consisting of different sizes and lengths of piping, that air becomes straigtened out, charged with power, and moves very quickly. faster and denser airflow means more power.

air intakes wont add 25 horses right outta the box on a stock engine, it says it will add UP TO 25 horses but that is normally with a bunch of mods to ur engine they might add a few horses and breath better and a lil better gas mileage but it wont add 25 horses right outta the box

Because you'll do a lot of damage to your engine! If you could see the contaminants in unfiltered air, it would shock you. A co-worker of mine used to tell our customers that running a vehicle without an air cleaner is like pouring a hand full of sand down the carburetor. ( OK I'm dating myself. I know most cars don't have carburetors anymore , but it still applies to vehicles made today with fuel injection.)
