Re: Can I cut the the wire/strainer material our from the part that sucks air? read p
No need to cut it out. Take a close look and you'll see its held in by a large internal C shaped snap-ring. Use snap ring pliers or needle nose pliers to remove it from the groove it is in. Then take a piece of fine gauge wire put a flat hook in the end, insert it in one of the holes and pull it out.
I took mine out ('97) and got a check engine light 2 days later. My scan tool read the code as a "lean condition". I'm not sure if it was a random event or if the mass air wires didn't read the intake are properly because of the screen being out. Anyway, I put it back in. My filter box is still gutted out and I use a reusable high flow filter though. It's got to flow a lot more air, especially with that red plastic restriction gone, the filter and the inlet smoothed out.
