what does it do tho???

 

[dannyboi321]

meant to increase airflow a tad but didnt realy see much difference when i did mine

its there to get any extra particles of dirt and dust thay may get through , running without can lead earlier maf failure i'm told due dirt contaminating the maf element , this is just what im told

Did you log it?

i was told it was meant to reduce turbulence so the maf gets a more accurate reading but that is only what i was told, the secondary filter sounds more viable

+1 Im sure I read Bill saying this also, makes sense.

The grill makes the flow through the MAF laminar, which the sensor is calibrated for. Removing the grill often results in a slightly higher 'false' reading due to more turbulant random flow, which causes slight overfueling, admittedly it's not going to damage anything, but deffinetly WON'T increase performance.

Just leave it alone.
