What happens if engine takes in more air than ...

You are confused...and has a lot to do with tin men BS .
The engine does not suck in air. The exhaust is the piston coming up and driving it out. (Modern OEM dual exhaust are connected with a cross over that enables one cylinder to share both mufflers and help actually pull some as a side benefit.
The intake is just atmosphere pressure pushing in to fill cylinder . Just like opening you mouth, the atmosphere does not blow out and bust your lungs.
The limit factor is the opening at the butterfly in the throttle body. Even a stock air filter passes all the air engine can use.
I am sure, no air filter may bump HP at WOT but do you do or need that? And it will sound like a Hoover Vac. And that few drops of mist that when setting for a while drip out and down on valve tappet cover or blows back on exhaust.

A "high flow" air cleaner is a lot like "clean Coal". The throttle body size regulates the air flow into your engine. If you have to much air flow....you have a turbo!

O.P. Spend a few minutes reading ( and a few hours understanding ? ) this.

A high flow air cleaner only alows the engine access to more unrestricted air. Kinda like breathing through your nose is normal, but if you want to take a deep breath you have to open your mouth.
Oh, was this a troll post?

The crossover in the pipes I think help there. I know for some Reas, no crossover seems to kill low rpm torque. Also no engine break when you come off throttle.
I like a street bike fill. Not a racer .
