    Not available as a part separate from the airbox. When I cracked mine, I got another from a member of this forum who took his out because they tend to clog up, but the crud they filter still is admitted only before the air filter proper.

    Remove it and forget you ever had it.

    imo, they just clog too quickly and just add an unnecessary layer of restriction. as long as you're good about doing the proper replacements or cleanings (if you have a k&n) to the actual air filter, then that screen is useless and borderline restrictive to an otherwise very good factory air intake setup.

    i trashed mine over a year ago and have no issues or complaints and have yet to find any large particles built up inside my airbox or stuck in my filter.

    With the positioning of the air flter 99% of that heavy stuff won't make it to the filter media anyway , it will drop to the bottom of the housing.

    Its purpose is to prevent snow form getting to the filter media and wetting it and weaking it and have the intake vacuum suck a hole in it.
