Yeah, pushing through the filter is not an option for me. It's looks like I'll be upgrading to an S&P TD-150 or a Valueline 6 inch.
Phat Filter > Stanley Blower = Odor!

Look... PUPPIES!
now i see the puppies...at first i just saw the cross, duh !! optical illusions always trickin me...
A horse and buggy can get me to work, but I'd rather be using the preferred vehicle of the motorway.
I'm sure you're happy with your fan/filter combo, but it is not a recommended application for just about anyone. The CFM of cage fans drop extremely fast when subjected to loads, whereas centrifugals fall off more slowly and linearly. In short, centrifugals are designed to work with ducting and other restrictions, where the blower fans are meant to push/pull with no restrictions.
In order to keep to best practices, I advise people to get the best gear for the job. I do not advise people to buy inferior odor-control solutions EVER, it's not worth the risk.
Teach people to get good centrifugal fans and oversized carbon filters, and more of our brothers stay out of jail in the long run. Shouldn't higher education be the goal of this site, not just what you can get by with?
BURN MIDDIE BURN!
a lil FYI for those who care.
filters have a CFM rating for a real reason.
too little or too many cfm's pushing thru a filter WILL result in STINK!
don't believe me, ask the OP of this thread

The filter really needs to be after the stanley. If the filter can't be put on the other side of the wall your blowing through then you could convert it to an inline scrubber by putting it in a box. Then vent the box out through the wall with your existing 6" duct.
I had planned on showing you the specs on say a Vortex vs the Stanley, but looking around the Stanley Manufacturing site, it doesn't list even
a CFM rating, let alone performance data. Here's the manufacturers spec sheet: http://www.laskoproducts.com/instructions/655702_Blower_Insb.pdf
and here's the page with some Vortex VTS (not even the big V series) performance data:
http://www.atmosphere.com/english/html/product/fans/vtx/vtx.html
The pressure chart doesn't paste without losing its formatting, but it's good to see the curves as the static pressure rises.
I should probably just shut up now, I have never used smaller than a CAN100 myself, but even on a CAN33, I'd use a Vortex 4-6" fan on a speed controller. You can run a large fan at low speed to move sufficient air with less noise. After hearing a dozen noisy squirrel cage blowers I bought a centrifugal and never looked back.

Call me slow-minded, but i don't get that comment at all.. Enlighten me please!

there 3 or 4 screws in the handles holding the case together. pull those out, split it and look at the fan blade. the middle is a solid disc that connects the motor shaft to the blades if that makes sense..drill several large holes in this disc (i spaced them evenly for balance concerns) you should now be able to see through your fan blades all the way to the other side. screw it back together and tape up the vent holes on the side.
done deal.
I hope that makes sense, I may not be 100% exact, im going off memory but its damn close. It really is easy to see what needs to be done when you get it apart.
