Default How can you tell?

I have been looking at CAI and want the one that removes the hemi hat but from the pictures I cant tell if it does they all say the same thing for there info on the websites. It doent tell you it removed the hemi hat just it puts the filter in the best spot. So how can you be sure it removes the hemi hat if i am going to pay the 300 bucks I want to make sure I am getting my moneyts worth for the right product and I am looking at the BFI and Afe intake is gaining quite a bit because high quality low price but I cant tell if it replaces everything. So how can you tell if it connects and removes the hemi hat

Look at a pic of it installed and see if it connects to the throttle body or not. Most of the CAI's do remove the baffle..the only one i've seen that doesn't is the Volant.

Which AFE are you looking at? I just went on their site and it looks like they have one that removes the hemi hat and one that doesn't.

the afe removes the hemi hat, typically if it comes with the metal tubing it loses the hemi hat. http://www.jcwhitney.com/Air-Intake-...=brute%20force that what your looking at?
