Some do, some don't. Some run better, some worse. Don't damage it taking it out, so you can put it back in if needed. You might try a search, also.

Sorry, I don't allow IM. It's too much trouble to maintain.

it is mixed reviews.... some have had no problems, others have had problems... some say it's a good thing, others say it doesn;t matter...

Personally from an engineers standpoint it really depends...

the screen is used to straighten the airflow to allow the meter to correctly measure the flow going through it. In a typical CAI there is bends which effect the airflow and create turbulance... the only setup that I personally believe doesn't need the screen would be a WS-6/LS1 setup with a straight shot from the airbox through the MAF to the TB.
