The screen does little for the engine when removed, you'll get slightly more airflow but since its not being properly flowed to the maf it may in fact make your engine run worse. We have these in 3000gt's and removing them has done nothing to improve the car. Feel free to remove it, you'll find no increase in performance and will in fact open up your engine to damage.
