Had the usage remained the same, no change would have taken place, my friend.

The engine will use only as much air and fuel as you tell it to, in a specific ratio, regardless of what it's pulling that air through. It doesn't care if there's a sock there, or a HEPA approved filtration unit. It will only pull through as much air as the power it's making, and power output is solely dependent on throttle angle and engine speed in our case.
