dumb, question, but i'll ask can you remove the screen mesh around the outside of a paper air filter, or will that harm or cause the filter to get " sucked in " to the air box.... it just seems like it would get more air without the mesh....
thanks

DO NOT REMOVE THE MESH....I have seen cheaper airfilters that come without the mesh have the paper sucked into the turbo and plug intercoolers on superdutys. That screen is critical to hold the filter together....as for tymar...only way to go. Tymar cut my filter usage in half do to filter lasting 2 too 3 times longer

thats what i was thinkin it would do, i figured it had something to do with holding the filter togeather, i have thought about the tymar filter, i bet it gets alot more air that that silly stock air box...
