I realize that and appreciate your input but what is the screen for debris? They look very restrictive to me and common sense in power making tells me to remove it.i am not worried about ingesting anything in the engine at all. Its the same principle as a air silencer to me it restricts and should be removed.Anything i have read or saw that said anything about smoothing out airflow has been on a infomercial like that tornado thing lol.The screen is after the TB correct feeding into the blower right?
