Mod on MAS Sensor worth 10+ HP??

Has anyone tried this mod on their CLK? You take the square net out of the top the MAS sensor? I here it gives you 10+ HP

This is what some have said in the E55 area:

First thing I did to my 91 fox body mustang back in the day, along with removing the airbox silencer. The car went 14.30's with just those mods, those were the days.

Back about a Yearago. GTA 23109a was kind enough to give me this descreening Tip & Rflow 306 confirmed it . I say It works quite well , with no bad side effects at all . I sware it was worth a free 7 hp !! Give it a try
Please see attach Picture
================================
That's a no brainer. Definitely take the screens out.

Wow already April again

Anyway, it is in fact a kind of obstruction for the airflow, and if one looks at area the screen takes up, then....

Seems like it's not much of an air flow reduction. However, it could cause turbulence in the air intake. That would be nice for gas mileage, but not so much for power.
