    Being my sloppy self I damaged my MAF screen the other day, dented it in slightly in the center. It doesn't look like there are discontinous pieces, as in the mesh is still held together at all points. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions here. I don't really want to fork over the 130 bucks for a new MAF just for a screen. I also don't want to suck my screen through the MAF housing have it foul out not only the MAF but also get sucked into my intake. I have an open cone setup so there is a bit more air moving through it now, not sure if it's enough to cause complete collapse. Also considered just keeping it off but after reading around the forums it doesn't sound like such a good idea. I realized I can reform it to the original shape, just not sure about an adhesive that would be good to try to use.
    Anyone happen to have a MAF screen around they want to make a quick sale on?

    SLP's aftermarket MAF's are screenless...you can always try to run it without one just incase you end up running into issues. I have one of SLP's 85mm units. I was kind of shocked to see it without a screen when I got it...but I haven't had any issues as of it. Although...since your probably mostly stock...or ARE stock...I'd keep the screen.
