Go to Wikipedia. Type in Mass Flow Sensor. The article will explain how the various types of MAF sensors work and what they really measure. An indirect measurement of Mass flow. not volume.
Read down to the cold wire type of sensor it talks about the mesh screen and its function. Hope this helps.
I did, "The mesh on the MAF is used to smooth out airflow to ensure the sensors have the best chance of a steady reading." No mentioning of pulses, however smoothing out. To my logic this must refer to the black matrix doing the "air straightning".

My idea is thus to remove the metal mesh but keep the plastic matrix, or rather change the matrix to a honeycomb doing the same work but less restrictive.
