Default MAF replacement

Can you get a better than stock MAF from an autoparts store or should you go to a specialty house?

The stock one is just fine, just remove the screens and it will flow more air than your L98 can use.

I take it that wont hurt the engine. Seems the screens were put there as a last stop for stuff? Running a KN and cut air filter cover.

I've heard that the screen is to straiten the air before passing through the meter.

The screens are there only to straighten the airflow before hitting the sensor element. :yesnod:

Many of us have done this, no problems, it brings a couple hp gain but not something youll notice.
