the oem maf

why cant we safely carefully take out the honeycomb in the maf and be careful not to harm the sensors in it instead of spending 200 on one without the honeycomb?

Because it is a lot of work to recalibrate them afterward, and just removing the screen won't really do much. It is better to step up to an LS1 MAF if you want to upgrade, and use a "stock" LS1 calibration for it.

People swear by the tornado mods too. Doesn't mean it will work.

When it needs to be upgraded, it's for the same reason as for a filter or throttle body, to increase airflow.

But, the MAF sensor is a special case because it also needs to accurately track the airflow going into the engine. That means not only at wide open throttle, but at idle and all transitions in between, rates of change and deceleration. That is very important to drivability, and smooth, crisp throttle response.

I had the screen removed, now I have a new stock MAF with the screen.

No difference

If you want something to sound good, get a full exhaust, or a supercharger or turbo, not some stupid cone filter, next thing you know you are gonna have a fake blowoff valve so people think you are turboed.....
