Re: honeycomb mas
well they put them in cars for a reason,most cars theses day are equipd with one, they are there - to get the air in the right place. lot of people call them air straiteners, with outh that the engine can run rough not gauranteed it will, it also helps with the compression an the air/fuel mixture.
just FYI! hope that helps u understand it. have a good day!

Re: honeycomb mas
Well all of that was right, up to the part about helping compression and a/f mixture. Leave it in, Ive heard bad things about removing it.

Re: honeycomb mas
Yeah, I agree 100% with talskinyguy. As far as fixing the bent fins. I did the same thing and just carefully used needle-nosed pliers to bend them back into place.

actually, as far as gutting the stock mas, it'll work fine IF and ONLY IF you know how to gut it properly. If you dont, then don't gut it because it'll mess up your tune. But for the most part, if you do gut it properly, you will need an a/f controller.
