What type of air-cleaner is this and what for?

In searching for air cleaners I have seen a few pics of the original large OE air cleaners with the snorkel / horn on them and a smaller lid in it usually chrome that just covers the filter. The one in this pic is all I could find right now. Is this a new style, mod thing or is this an old concept and thing that is making a comeback. Does it have a purpose like keeping the incoming air cooler and acting as a heat shield?

Also which way should the intake snorkel / horn face on a BB OE air cleaner. I have seen both but the repair manual and other pics it is pointing towards the passenger side

Freedom isn't safe, it requires you to take responsibility for your own life, your own safety, and your own success. It carries with it the possibility of failure and the understanding that you're working without out a safety net. If you give the state the responsibility for any of these you also give up the freedom that accompanies the responsibility.
