I would of kept it in, It doesnt add a bunch of horespower by removing it. Its ment to keep senor from getting hit by **** coming in the from the airbox. Id rather keep it than have to pay out the *** for a new MAF senor if gets messed up.

Lol...I didn't know it until a week ago, but apparently some time in my Camaro's life, the original owner descreened the MAF sensor because when I was putting my smooth bellow on last week, I happened to look at the MAF, and it was def w/o its screen. Wouldn't know if it made an improvement or not because it's been out since I bought the car obviously, but I wish it was still in there, just to be safe. I did do the !EGR mod tho.

yea SLP recommends this as a free mod. So i asked around and found out it was safe, the SLP MAF comes with a screen it on or you can remove it, another company makes them with out screens and says its good for street use, my idle is fine and all of that, i made sure everything was ok after I removed it, car ran fine. Yea I never herd anyone getting something pass the filter to damage the MAF. Yup tomarrow = strut bar install, whoo hoo!

Yea, but I def wouldn't pay $300+ for a Granatelli unless I was making some serious (600+) hp. I really don't think the Granatelli would even make much of a diff over a stock one that's descreened.
