Filter Size

[Silver Streak]

Hi All, Possibly just too much time on my hands day off, but I'm wondering.... I have a K&n Typhoon intake and I'm assuming that the filter size is picked based on a balance of torque and horse power. Either that or it's chosen merely on engine displacement. Do you think if a smaller filter was used it would bring the torque curve down a bit so it was spread a little more evenly?

No, a filter that can't flow enough would only choke top end power.
