Be careful.

Removing the screen or post, from the stock MAF has two effects.

1. Increased flow rate.
2. The computer doesn't know that. The computer calibration is based on the flow rate of the stock meter. Gutting it (removing the screen and/or post) means that the computer thinks there is somewhat less air flowing then what there actually is. So the computer sends a little less fuel for the air then it normally would. More air + same fuel = slight lean condition, which can mean some more power.

Unfortantly, its unpredictable. Sometimes it works fine. Some times very bad things happen. No good way to predict which.

I would not recomend this.
