The best screen mesh has a 46% flow rate. In other words you loose 54% of the flow, more or less. So you need a screen with about twice the surface area of the stack intake to compensate.

I have not seen any that are premade like that. You actually need to make your own.

There are a couple of vintage pictures of Indy and Can-Am cars with that kind of screen on the stacks. I can't say that I have saved any of them.

The hard ass race teams understood this and the concept of not sucking in something under full throttle so this idea is not new.

God gave us all a brain with high capacity and some with operational capabilities? If you need to fall back on anything, this would be a good time. Hopefully it won't give you a migraine?
