Just one question. Would it not seal better to sandwich the mesh on top of the filter material, so as to have the filter in direct contact with the Y-pipe? May this create a more effective seal to keep out dust and debris?

Might seal better but then you have nothing to keep the filter material from getting sucked into your supercharger $$$$$$$. That's the purpose of the mesh.

The mesh that I used actually has some thickness to it so I took a hammer and pounded it flat so that it would seal better. I also toyed with idea of doubling the mesh so that I could totally encase the filter material. But that meant more restriction and more thickness to the filter assembly.

I saw some 1/4 inch metal netting (Garden area) at Lowes that looks like it would work great for this application. Check it out.
