Not all cars smoke while they're being cleaned.

are you f'n serious thats like the first thing I rip off, cuz it blocks half the air going in the engine, 110% better throttle response.

Are you being serious or just joking??? I hope your just joking cause if not, that has to be the worst advice (and logic) I have heard on this site so far.

In all seriousness, don't take the screen off. The benefits [SLIGHTLY better air flow] does not outweigh the harm. The harm being getting stuff in your blower /intake manifold and and a rougher idle.

My screen stays, sabrewings, TDC, and DNA know what there talking about. Ive also read on other forums the harm in taking the screen off. Also i was watching this video of a GTP running open header, no cross over pipe, or exaust manifolds, everyone was laughing on the forum at him, just curious any of you know what that would do?

No way for an O2 sensor to take readings, so the PCM can't tune the trims.

Probably sounds badass. I know my car sounded badass when I had some major exhaust leaks at the crossover joints...

Heres My proof
ZZ Performance

"For Maximum performance this screen is disruption in the airflow that can be removed with little or *no adverse effects. On the flow bench we have realized a 10-15% increase in airflow by removing the screen."]For Maximum performance this screen is disruption in the airflow that can be removed with little or *no adverse effects.

For cfm# check out this link ZZ Performance

I Agree, those kind of things happen when you dont have an air intake/ filter in place, If you do and this kind of thing happens, then your doin something wrong. I've Had 10 Different Cars with those screens on them and Ive taken them off and had no problems, obviously you need to be more careful if you do take it off, but If you still dont believe me check these out.
Hey lets see how many TB Screens we can see on performance TB's ?
Northstar TB ZZ Performance Nope
High Velocity TB ZZ Performance nope

I dont want to step on anyones toes, I'm just defending and backing up my previous statement. If you still want to leave it on for extra protection, I wont knock you for it.

I like this part...

We learned that MAF screens slow down air considerably and removing them will provide more air increase than a larger TB will at times. This does not always equal more HP because the MAF can read improperly but does make for interesting possibilities.
