Default just a question

ok i was cleaning up my engine bay the other day and i pulled my injectors out cause the conections were nasty, but i notice the have a small screen that goes in the injectors i was wondering if it would madder if i took them out cause i took my air compresser and blew them clean to get rid of any unwanted dirt and the air compresser could hardly push air through them, it seem like they restrict fuel flow. what do you guys think??

Those sound like in line fuel filters.

Even if removing them got you more fuel flow it won't give you any gain as you don't have more air to compensate for more fuel.

Your car will just run rich and get worse gas mileage.

Leave it alone.
