But I'm looking to make it breathe easier and keep the stock pipes. Perhaps remove the silencers eventually.

I also want to keep the stock air cleaner on the left side and a balanced look for both sides.

Will this backing plate allow this?

You are looking at the Caddmann mod likely then. It allows you to leave the left side stock if you wish and changes only the right side. You can change both sides for a more balanced look. This mod uses the existing backplate so there is very little that changes. It is also very cost effective compared to the complete aftermarket intakes (Hypercharger, BAK, etc).

Here are a couple links for the mod and there are a bunch of discussions in the forum as well. The first one is a step by step that was done, and the creator of the mod (Caddmann) comments on how good a job the person does of the procedure.
