RE: Air Cleaner = Less Power!?!

Interesting... How can it actually decrease HP? I'm just curious to
understand how it works. I had thought that the incoming air flow would max
out at what the throttle body could pull through. Obviously going past that
won't gain anything, but I wouldn't have thought it could actually cause a
decrease.

Thanks
