I done this to my 01 but at that time people saying that it did not help and the screen realy helped air flow, I was just wondering what views every one has on it 4 years later.

 

Just don't do it. Nothing's changed

 

more harm than good, to descreen it that is

 

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

ppl will say dont. but ive done it and havent had any issues in the years without a screen. aftermarket mafs have no screen, a Z06 maf has no screen, SLP has no screen....

 

They were designed with no screen though. My truck ran like *** with the screen out. I never could get my tune straight.

 

Really no point in doin it IMO

 

well then me and alot of others might just be the lucky ones. if you couldnt get the tune right then you might need more time with the software

 

The screen is there to smooth the airflow over the sensor. If it is removed you run the risk of getting bad data from the maf which in turn will affect proper fueling. The small increase in airflow is not worth the risk of bad maf data to the pcm. I guess if you are running in SD all the time then it probably doesn't really matter since the data from the maf is being used.

 

I was using a WB and AutoVE. Tried time and time again. I put the stocker back on and hooked it up after the SD tuning and didnt have any more issues. 2 each their own.
