I don't think so, unless you rig the filters in parallel.

Parallel. Exactly. The thicker filter is like two thinner ones
side-by-side.

No, a thicker filter is like to thinner ones in series, one behind the
other.

Incorrect when the thickness is achieved by larger pleats. The actual filter
*material* is the same. Bigger pleats in a thicker filter "container" means
more area and less resistance.


That's it.
