Do any of you Varram guys see a drop in power when installing the aftermarket fog light screens?

put this debate up there with the descreen of the MAF. Does it matter.
I put on the screens when I installed the unit because I didnt want to suck up a K-mart plastic bag.

Though I was disapointed to exchange Emails with Vararam last week to find out that they will sell filters for $48 dollars plus $9 dollars shipping. Thats a crazy price.

I wish I went with the Blackwing

I chose not to install screens because I do not like the look. If you think there is a loss of power takes them off. If you are afraid of bugs or other debris hitting the filter; I have not seen any on my filter after 1500 miles of use.

The screens were on before I installed the VR system. The screens offer some protection but I kept them on for cosmetic purposes.
