I used a pair of Greddy Airynx filters on my low mounts. They were basically the most compact..but open filter I could find. Foam design. I will say they do filter like shit though, but most certainly a lot safer than a screen, and probably flow more than a screen.
Better than nothing though

I'll look into the Greddy's, thanks.
