Right now I don't have one, my old one was garbage so I threw it out over the summer when Joe and I installed my intake. But now people keep telling me I should have one, should I get a new one? What does not having it do? Is it restrictive? Thanks.

good question.. i took mine off too

it smooths out the air flow before hitting the maf and also is a little extra protection... the amount that it affects flow is minimal. id say its more worth it to just leave it on but people have taken it off and left it off.

It really makes a difference in making it easier to tune from what I read. For about I week I took mine out since it was really broke and my car idled kinda rough, I only have a cone on the TB so nothing at all to smooth out the air. After I replaced it the car idled much smoother.

Hmmm, well if it really affects the idle that much maybe I should put it back on then.

mines been off for awhile and have seen no rough idling or any bad side affects
12-05-2009
pffft.
lame.
keep it off.

oh god...
get yourself a new screen.
rockauto.com has them for $19.45
12-05-2009
why? is there a real benefit for it bein on? i'd love an explanation as to why or why not have it on

Smooths out the air flow for the maf to read it better. It is not really a restriction.

Having it off is really that bad?
A guy on here is selling one for 5 shipped.

My car threw a lean at idle code when it was removed. Stuck it back on a no problems.

after a while your car will run like ****, as it was said, it helps smooth the air flow out. Hell, even my LQ4 maf has a screen.
12-06-2009
Yeah the Lq4 maf's have them and they flow just fine.
12-06-2009
My SLP 85mm doesnt have one.
Dont be a Nancy

If your car is tuned with out it just leave it that way. If you have it just leave it that way. That sound good?
12-06-2009
Yeah it was tuned without one.
12-06-2009
Then just leave it unless you want to retune with it.
12-06-2009
only reason i took mine off is my butterfingers accidentaly stabbed it with a screwdriver.. oops.
you really think that a car would need retuned because of some lil screen? i find that hard to swallow. just my thought tho
