The more, the better

I often hear "The more, the better," "the sooner, the better," etc.

Is it possible to use this kind of expression in the following way?

The lower the suction load on the air filter of a vehicle is, the higher the quantity of air supply to the engine is.

Yes. You can use this kind of construction. It is a little more natural to keep the phrasal form: Just remember: the lower the suction load on the air filter of a vehicle, the higher the quantity of air supply to the engine.
