I've seen alot of people talk about changing the stock air filter.. Just wondering what advantage you get from doing that? Sorry if this is a basic question, just wondering as air filters are so cheap..

thanks!

1. More induction noise.
2. More airflow - depending on design - and therefore more torque.

More airflow = Better gas milage, More HP and torque
