Please excuse me if I'm not posting these questions in the right forum. I would like to know what is the purpose of that noodle-strainer metal ring thing that the air filter wraps around inside the air cleaner. It has hundreds of little holes for air to flow through but it looks like it's a MAJOR air restriction. Could I free up some air flow by cutting part of it out so as to leave only enough to support the air filter? I thank you for your help. -Jim380
