Its cool, half the time I can never find what I am looking for. Good luck, you can always just chisel them off also. That is what I did, I also did not have a dremel tough.

No it won't crack the plastic with a chisel Ara. A dremel/die grinder is faster.

and smellier...the dust sucks, a real sharp chisel will make a lot less mess

You do this to clear the ls1 coolant lines. You can buy the ls6 lines. Just get a hammer and a chisel for the ribs. I was able to hit them pretty hard without causing any problems. I ended up just clearing all the ribs off the bottom.

I used a die grinder with a cutoff wheel. I also used a red marker to mark the ribs that needed to get cut.

if you want to sculpt your LS6 intake use a chisel...but its gonna take you quite some time ara

You can also use a 1 1/2" air buffer......just do one rib at a time and you can make it look like it came from the factory like that, Also another thing i did was take the clips and all the black shielding off the tubes, then very carefully hammered them to almost a oval shape...you might want to take them off for that though.

I used a razor to cut into the plastic first on both sides of the rib, then used a chisel to knock the ribs off, that produced a cleaner break of the plastic. Finished off with some sanding of any sharp areas.

i will get up pics, it came out perfect! i marked them with a marker then i used a old pushrod to hit the fines off, then i cleaned it off better with a screw driver
