Jim,  I am advocating ram air with no filter and also, as an alternate

easily become clogged with dead bugs choking off all intake air and
causing the engine to stop running. That swarm of bugs without the
screen would in all likelyhood be ingested and spit out through the
exhaust without so much as a hiccup by the engine. Just playing devils
advocate. :o)
