i love it. it changed the exhaust note. you definaty feel the change in power. the plug that needs to be relocated is explained in the instructions. it gets mounted on the the new airbox. they supply the rubber piece that ensures it goes on with a good fit.

The screen is just a safety precaution for any debris that might get in the inlet pipe. If you have a decent filter then no problems.

The screen makes the air pressure the same in all parts of the tube so the MAF gets a better reading.

If you want to learn more about screens, do a google search on wind tunnel designs. It tells you what a screen and beehive holes do.

I thought removing the screen leaned out the mixture....

When MM&FF did their article on cheap upgrades on a Mach One they dynoed it with and without the screen. It made more HP without the screen, but leaned out the mixture a little too much for a daily driver.

That's how it makes more power...

Works for me! I took mine out when I got my FIPK2. I was always worried about it running lean, from the MM&FF article, but it's good to know that it probably does not make that much difference!
