I took mine out with no problems. Some people do have problems with it. I would say leave it alone it isn't worth it.

No... It will cause inacurate air readings.

The only purpose of the screen is to smooth out air flow over the sensor so it gets an accurate reading. Removing it causes the maf to get poor reading due to the turbulence that is in the nature of the piping. So theres your accual reason why to leave it alone, smooth flowin air over sensor is good
