Think of air as water going through a garden hose at our speeds...

With the hose wide open you get a certain volume of water...

Now if you have a larger hose inline first and it is connected to the same size smaller hose as above it will flow the same water for the same household pressure as above...the only way to get more water for the same pressure is to have the bigger hose the same size throughout...

So you could have a garden hose hooked up to a firehouse and it will flow the same as just a regular garden hose for the same supply pressure

Water volume = more air flow
Garden hose size = ram air duct size
House hold pressure = car speed mph

Hope this helps some

like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
Holy f*ing ****!
