    its easy to do. i personally wouldnt becasue of the security that i hvae that if a stick breaks trough the filter then i still will be blocked. the gain is small

      From what I understand, It's not good to do to pre`99 F-bodies. I remember seeing that a few times. Screws up the idle or something.

        it's not really a screen to protect the MAF. It is an air straightener, it's designed to straighten the airflow so that the MAF can get a proper reading. Many people that have removed it have had problems with their cars idling rough after the removal. This is due to the air not flowing properly pass the MAF, and instead it swerls around giving a bad reading. I dont recomend removing it!!!.

          I did it on my 98 firebird. It made the idle sound kinda cool for like a minute, but then i guess the computer got used to it, because it went back to normal. There were no power gains, so I put it back in.

            Fbird - you don't have a MAF screen, the 3.4s don't have a MAF sensor.
