MAF screen
It straightens out the airflow so that the MAF can always get consistent readings. Whether you need it or not will always be a debate. Some cars need it some don't, it depends on the configuration of the intake track and how turbulent the air is as it enters the MAF

It also helps keep some of the things that might get by your air filter, but I doubt that it the main reason of it. I have run the stock with screen and after market with out. I prefer the stocker it runs better and fits better also.

I said a few choice words with that one...Flow straighteners (honeycomb type material) are used all the time in aeronautical engineering...even with the research I'm doing, and they work well. My vote is to keep it for consistency's sake.
Granted I run no MAF at all...just a 4" tube with no screen

They are not made to catch crap your filter did not. If by some vodoo chance crap got past your filter then it was your fault and I'm sure it can/has got past that crap MAF screen.
Peace,

All ZO6 cars never had them and still don't have them either, they are pointless....period.

MAF screens are POINTLESS. I believe the reason they used screens in LS1's in the first place was to smooth out the incoming air flow but IMO mass air is more beneficial with a proper tune. Man I'm so sick of seeing this same question over, and over, and over, and over.... I don't know how you do it Cragar ^^^
