I would not say drastically, but generally more air = more power = more fuel, so i guess a stock filter box with original filter element is save more fuel. Depending one the filter element, im using a blitz ss open pod, so engine will be more dirty internally compare to stock filters. Correct me if im wrong.

i thought u aiming for power.yup,blitz tend to suck those small dust particle but
the flow is like not having any filter at all.recommended for hi-powered turbo/na engine.

but after change back to oem the sound during mivec activation sound no as loud as the open pod one. another solution is to change knn drop in filter it will help abit

yup....u can also opted for hks super hybrid filter to aid ur airflow a bit.

Knn is one of the popular choice to improve airflow. But there is one thing for sure. Low air resistance = low filtration efficiency, High air resistance = High filtration efficiency.
