Will removing a charcoal air filter increase horsepower? Charcoal filters are designed to capture hydrocarbons that may escape out your intake when your car is shut off. They’re located after the air filter in your intake duct, and can restrict airflow. But how much effect do they really have on performance? I took two air filters, an OE filter and a performance filter, to the test, with and without the charcoal air filter. To measure the differences in horsepower and torque, each of the four filter options was put on a Mustang dynamometer, with multiple runs. A VBOX was used to measure real world acceleration differences. How much of a difference does a charcoal filter make? Check out the video to find out!
