mazda cold air intake
Just a quick question has anyone ever removed one of the screens on the mazda cold air intake system and if so did they have any problems?

I only put the screen closest to the maf in when I installed my MS CAI. Runs fine, idle fluctuates on occasion, but I never tried it with both so I don't know if that CAI makes it do that anyway.

It will also help with SMALL droplets of water... but don't think that you can spray a garden hose at it (like when you're cleaning your car). Your filter will collect the water and after time, the water thats collected will get so bad, when you turn and accelerate quickly, the water will rush up your intake pipe and into the engine (NOT GOOD).
I speak from personal experience. Thats why I just switched out my AEM for the Racing Beat Revi with the ram air duct.

Only "issue" I have with the Racing beat (which I didn't know until I went to install it) is that it requires the use of stock components from the air box (like the grommets, hose clamps, bolt, spacer, and the accordion section).
I installed the AEM intake YEARS ago and couldn't find some of the stock pieces that was thrown in the closet, so that made the install take more than it should... trying to scrounge up everything.
