You could go to the hardware store and buy some screen cut out a piece put it over the apadter then filter over it and you have the screen. This is what I did for a little while then I took it out and now I have the orignal screen back in now. I don't think there was a diffrence with or with out it. The reason I put it back in was I was ordering from bat and got there MAF gasket to see if it made a diffrence. Not sure if it made a diffrence since I did a tune up and that is what it really needed. I may take it out again and see what happens just haven't gotten to it.
