Donaldson blackwing / maf sensor screen
C5 2004 MAF sensor has a screen on the front. If you have a ZO6 you have NO screen.
Question: On a standard equiped 1YY07 6 speed with Magnaflow exhaust....If I remove the screen will that produce any codes or engine problems?

Obviously, there's a difference between the LS1 and LS6 motors that allowed for the change.
This is only from what I recall from past threads when this has been asked previously.
You probably won't feel any significant improvements in performance. You might experience some negative engine characteristics like a poor idle or surging. Either could produce codes.
That's all I can recall from memory, except that some suggested using a later model MAF w/o the screen and/or having a tune done to offset any issues. That isn't inexpensive in itself...and is any performance improvement from the screen being removed or the tune?
It's interesting that HALLTECH has recently come out with a MAF screen that is supposed to improve performance and eliminate lean codes.
You should be able to search or search this forum in C5 Tech (in the red banner) and find those discussions. Use keywords "maf screen" or something similar.
