Honeycomb MAF screen for SC application: yes or no?
I have an 02Z with a P1 (10lbs) with stock MAF, so no screen.
It is the old dual IC, with the MAF just after the Y pipe from the IC's, and probably has a lot of turbulence. My tuner recommended installing a screen to reduce some of the turbulence, and make it a little smoother. I read good reviews on the Halltech which has the larger holes in the screen VS the GM kind. But then I read a review that if used with a SC, it would just fold the screen up with the added pressure.
So what is the consensus, do you guys run one, would it be worthwhile to try, or will it just fold up inside? I have a feeling most don't use, like cats, and since most didn't come with one stock, or people have gone to larger MAF's, TB's, etc.

When I was on my P1 with near identical set up I had a honeycomb to help with turbulence. Now I'm speed density and do not have a Honeycomb or MAF in general.
You will need a stronger honey comb in the tube before the MAF. Here is what I did before:

I was also using the LS3/LS7 style card MAF but I think you will be ok on the LS6 style.

Thanks for the link, those are the 1/8" cell screens like the Halltech, but less expensive. Not sure if they are the same strength or not.
Did you notice an improvement when you added the screen?
