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!!!.98 White T-Top Firebird<br />w/ the crome 5 star rims<br />FRA, Smoothed stock lid,<br />Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=346111</a>

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.All gone :(<br />Best ET ever: 14.3 (I think)<br />----------------------------<br />Check out my site for exhaust clips, burnouts, and pictures, and the supercharger throttle body mod.<br /><a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/net_addict/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Click on the Firebird</a>
