My car came with them out, I found that out when I polished mine. Car has been fine so far.
Just curious, how did they turn out. I know you werent sure what you wanted to do with them? Any pics.

Should I leave the screen out or put it back in?

leave it on man. Your not going to see any notcible power from descreening it. Also have fun buying a new one when a small rock or piece of debree knocks out one of the lines because the screen wasn't there. Believe me they engineer the maf a certain way for a reason man. IDK I never bought these "free horsepower mods" lol, 7 HP by descreening the MAF and TB bypass, yeah when the car is at 6000 in 6th gear lol (sarcasm).

I datalogged my 95 formula with a descreened maf, and read blms averaging between 108-113, popped the screen back on and averaged 118-124. Yet, felt no decrease in performance, if anything it felt slightly better with the screen due to a slightly leaner mixture! Could just be my setup, IDK, but the screen is staying in.
Plus when I changed plugs and 02's they were very sooty, nearly fouled! The Maf had been descreened when I bought the car. I say stick with the screen unless you have the means to recalibrate the MAF tables!
