dont remove it, you wont gain anything and it acts as a filter, wait till you take that manifold off, you see how much slips by.

if the MAF screen is catching debris, then something is wrong with your air filter.

don't mess with the stock MAF. The gains, if any, aren't worth the potential problems.
