Best Answer

Your car's engine is essentially a giant air pump, combusting a mixture of fuel and air with a carefully timed spark. The more air the engine has available, the more horsepower it can make. An engine that breathes more easily will also show improvements in throttle response. Throttle response is measured by the amount of delay or hesitation that your car exhibits between when you press down on the gas pedal and when the engine responds by delivering power. Improvements in throttle response give you more "pep" in your car's acceleration.

How do air filters make the air healthier for people?

Air Cleaner in the air intake of the engine has nothing to do with the health of the occupants of the car. However the recent addition of an Air Filter in the Car Air Conditioning system keeps the air inside the car clean of dust and molds which is healthy breathing for the passengers. Therefore periodic cleaning of this filter is good for the A/C performance and passengers health. Newaz.
