I use these on noctua s12-a's and get pretty good airflow.  I dont have any filter on my top exhaust though, if that were me I'd bend those tabs out and remove the foam and the put the metal back in.  My case had the same tabs on it's front intake and they didn't last too long.  

edit: I'd still keep the front ones in though, I tried no filters for a while and I guess I'm just a dusty fool cause it got dirty pretty quick.  I have to blow my front filters out pretty regularly or airflow starts to suffer

that's what I ended up doing. I will save the disgustingly dirty foam for later.

He likes the warm. Every single warm that comes from my PC comes out of there. Except for the PSU. 

 

My snake does the same thing.  Doesn't have the same filtering effect though...

My 800rpm 180mm fans pull air fine through my rad and filter
