hmm, u will if ur MAF stops working.. SOme people have reported their MAF's stop working, some say that if u remove the front screen the air flow isn't as smooth and wont go through the sensor correctly. others say nothing has happend at all. I just took off the screen after the sensor, and left the air cleaner side screen on, i noticed maybe a little difference at higher RPMS.

You might have a problem removing the screens. I did this with my car and I had a code 34 pop up. My car didnt run all that good either. The engine is designed to have the screens there, so I would not recommend removing the screens. Some people dont have a problem with the screens removed, but some do like I did. Really not worth it to me, as you might have to buy a new one if you have a problem. 300 bucks. OUCH!!!!!!
