I picked up an ls6 intake last week and I've been prepping it off and on all week, previous owner had it green and did a fast black rattle can job. Got it primered just waiting for a good time to spray it Gloss Black. This is my first time painting really, besides calipers so I'm pretty proud of how it's turned out so far. Here's a pic

Got around to painting it gloss black today.




Here’s my checklist.
I’m doing ls6 intake with longtubes into a x pipe with flowmaster 10s dumped at the axle while also deleting the EGR/AIR. Not really planning on doing motor mounts but I’ll add them just in case. Going to have a local shop fab up a custom x for me

Tell me if I'm missing something:
Ls6 Intake
It was ported to fit an 85mm throttle body so I’ll have to get some gasket material and make one to fit my stock throttle body. I’ll also be reusing the Intake bolts unless told otherwise.

maybe i missed it on your post but..
you doing ls6 coolant cross over line/plug kit?
Are you going to get it tunned after removing AIR/EGR and adding the LS6 intake?

Im sure your intake will turn out good gloss black.. take your time

Arctic_Z

Good question. Forgot to add that the ribs on the bottom of the intake already have been removed and smoothed out! So it should (hopefully) fit perfectly

Nice, you shouldnt have problems then. I hear that the older ls1 style coolant lines work perfect if the ribs are removed. I've never done that myself (i went with the cross over kit) but i see that it works for alot of folks here on tech.

Arctic_Z

Yeah. I just recently seen on here about the ribs being removed. I'll give it a go. And about the tune, I do plan on getting it tuned afterwards, just not sure when. It's my daily driver

I would do plugs, they are so easy to swap when the headers are off.

Arctic_Z

I'd do motor mounts for sure, my eBay headers fit perfect btw, hope you have the same luck as me! Just to save you some money if you can pull your spark plug wires off without ripping them apart you can reuse them, same goes with your oil pressure sending unit.
