Filter particle size is a function of "hole size" and flow rate is a
function of surface area and "hole size". Paper filter elements are
pleated to increase surface area. If the hole-size is too small, to
filter out the smallest particles, then flow rate really suffers. The
best approach, and I believe K&N's approach, is to use the smallest
practical hole-size and to greatly increase the surface area to keep the
flow rate greater than typical paper elements. The K&N filter material
greatly increases the surface area, allowing high flow rates with small "
hole sizes".
