so...what are the benifits of removing that?
won't the car run weird with out it?

I don't know :?
I've had mine out pretty much since I joined the club. Not a problem at all. However.. Some people have reported uneven idle issues unless you run a rice pipe setup. So, it'* a car to car deal.

I noticed an immediate increase on the SOTP Dyno. And, the sound is much better with a gutted airbox and no MAF screen.

Take it out, drive her for a day or two and see what you think. It pops right back in (unless you muck it up taking it out)

Big quote...had to do it

So does removing your maf screen change your mpg?

I never checked. But, with the cutted box and no MAF, I'm getting 20-22 MPG in mixed driving each day.

Again, pull out the scfreen for a few days. I you don't like the results, put it back in. That'* what'* cool about this mod, it'* nowhere near permanent.

Unless you're not careful and frag it up when you remove it...
