Engine is sucking air from the air-box, through the airflow meter and then into the engine, so the back screen is just creating a bottle neck. The front screen when removed will alter you air/fuel mixture because the structure of the air has changed. Very noticable during idle. Joel.

Can someone explain how to actually take this mesh off? Taking the back piece off sounds ok, but i dont want to take the front off. How will I do this?

I had mine taken off as my afm is in the cooler piping, have heard of ppls back mesh coming off and getting stuck in the throttle body.

There is also another reason why to keep it on other then the obivious. to make the air around it more turbulent, which provides a more accurate reading.

mines removed on my vlt and ive never had a problem with it, i have 3 spare afm anyways hehehe

Lend me one!

when u want it?

I think the most restrictive part is the ribbed intake pipe, those ribs really effect the way the air flows, make a nice straight smooth 1 up from stainless!!!

make sure not to ****up the afm guys ,bloody expensive
