Not that simple, otherwise everyone would be a great motorist... , Intake influences volumetric efficiency, back-pressure influences amount of residual gas in the combustion chamber, you can increase volumetric efficiency and still have the residual amount.

Once upon a time I ran K&N filters in everything I owned. Then I felt inside the intake tube of one of my vehicles and there was fine dust on the inside of the tube. Removed all my K&N filters and chucked them in the garbage. Paper filters ever since and no fine particles anymore.
