Does the K&N cone filter size make a noticeable difference in air flow and/or HP?

Just wondering about this. Anyone know?

Theoretically, I suppose a larger filter would allow more air flow. Dunno if this is the case or if more HP is gained.

Thanks!

as for hp not really the only thing you may gain is some noise as appose to a smaller filter

Your engine will only suck in so much air. So as long as the filter is big enough for the engine size, you won't gain anything by going larger than that.
