Saw this here and something similar on Gadgets site. This is an APC filter with Chucksters 7" plate.

WOW, I saw at least three different set-ups, not sure what I was supposed to be seeing. I have the 9 inch K&N filters both sides witht eh 1600 numbers on the covers. Works for me and cheap.

Very nice! I'm interested to see how clean the filter stays. It's not a K&N and so it's not washable right?
The left side looks GREAT! I'm going to be doing the 7" K&N mod soon and I haven't decided what I want to do on the left side. Where did you buy the thing you have on the left side?

Also, what did you use for a back plate?

Thanks Joe. I appreciated all the communication as well.
Utah, this is an APC washable filter. They come in white, red, and blue. Each filter comes with charging oil. $22 at Advance Auto Parts. The "ornament" on the left side is a Kuryakyn horn cover.

Doc, looks to me like he had a left side, maybe duel sides 9"x2" set up once.
Then with Chuckster's 7" single adapter installed the APC set up amd yanked the cross over tube.
Seems he added a chrome bling cover on the left, which may or not contain something.
Next the reed valve bodies and all the junk that goes with them should come off. And so he can but another item from Chuckster. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif That would be coasters!

Besides the new look, was there any other reason to make the change? Doe it perform any better?

Hell yeah! if you have a set up like V&H baggers, a TFI or Cobra chip, and let it breath one way or another, you will get more engine preformance.
Looks to me like you have V&H baggers, but i can't see the Fuel mods if they are there or not.
If you have a caddman like set up this set up will be about the same, but if you are running a stock intake set up it will be very different.

I had done the Cadmann mod. Then decided to go with full intake on the right, remove the crossover tube, and leave the left as decorative just for a balanced look. But, those 9" filters are HUGE!!!! I got over that look and wanted something different. So, in actuality, there is no difference in performance from my first Cadmann mod to current. The pipes are Cobra true-duals, and there's a TFI under the left side cover. Compared to stock, the performance is improved.

I definitely recognize the poor engineering on the stock intake. I was more or less asking what the difference was between having the two 9" filters and just the one filter on the right side.

It does look great. That first picture of the APC filter is kind of an optical illusion. At first, the filter looked like it was installed upside down.
On Chuckster's plate, are the mounting bolts countersunk? OR, how much carving on the filter's base did you have to do?

The mount bolt holes are countersunk, but the screws he originally sent were about 1/8" too long, and bottomed out. I used the stock mount bolts for now. I got an email from him this morning, he's sending shorter bolts which should work.
As for carving the filter base, it was significant enough. I may buy an extra and carve away to keep as a spare. Actually, I used a grinder on my dremel to get bas how I wanted.

Here are pictures (not close ups, sorry) of my right side with a hypercharger and the left side with a thunder ignition set up.

I thought about going the hypercharger route too, but the money for the same performance results kept me from doing it. Yours looks real nice though, especially with the solo setup.

The seat is designed specifically like that for cooling effect. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif
