If it is a ls1 intake, you will have the EGR tube going in the front of the intake. If not then It's a ls6. BTW 98-00 ls1 intake 01-02 LS6 intake.

Some people try to pass Vette (non EGR) LS1 manifolds as LS6 manifolds, so you can't only go off of that. The best way to tell is by looking at the bottom of the manifold.
If it is flat, it is an LS6, if it curves, it is an LS1. If you can't take it off (or dont have it off) another way to tell is by the GM part number molded into the intake manifold.
98-00 F body LS1 intake with the EGR setup is 12560688.
97-00 vette LS1 part # is 12556333 (No EGR)
I believe these are all vette non EGR LS1 intakes as well:
12557846
88894095
88890523
88890524
88894339
The Stock 2001-2002 F-body LS6 is 12561184.
The Z06 LS6 is 12573572 (But these were put on Fbodies too).

You may also have an EGR tube on an ls6 intake if someone put on a conversion intake, it is an LS6 intake with an adapter for the EGR, but the adapter is a large compression fitting and is easy to spot. I know SLP sells them.
looked at the part number Trending Topics

rocndav- the part number for the intake was 12560688.
Heads i believe they are stock no one mentioned any thing when purchased but they could be aftermarket and just not mentioned.

im getting a second dyno pull next week, my first one was without my lid, a crappy fuel filter, old plugs, old wires, and no other mods than the exhaust and it made 330 to the rear wheels. i have the mods in my sig and i also am going to be ordering a MS3 cam from texas speed, my predictions are right at 400 RWHP with a dyno tune. but good luck saving up enough money to push 360+. unless your parents bought your car and you have money to spend on mods... i bought my car and still owe another $500 on it, however i chose to mod it before paying it off but i bought it when i was 17 (18 now) and it took alot of $$$ and time to get were i am at now.

thats not bad but i wouldnt start modding the crap out of it with 100K+ miles. my 98 had 62 when i bought it and now has 70 and im replacing all the top end gaskets, oil pump, timing chain, intake manifold (swapping for an LS6) and doing new injectors as well as all the stuff (push rods, springs and cam) that goes with a cam kit. If you do headers you will need a tune as well. i know some people are going to say you dont need to replace anything but i think different just because of adding HP to a high milage car.
