forget the SLP piece of ****. the engine light isn't as bad as you think...you get used to it
seriously, try and find someone near you that has HPtuners for your year model that can help you out. you might have some luck in the pertinent regional forum. anything to avoid putting money in SLP's hands.

Ok, other than the fact that people on here don't want to give money to SLP. Is there any ACTUAL difference between the two intakes, I've been wondering myself, especially since the SLP one is cheaper?

Performance wise, no. But SLP will proably tell you that it will gain 40RWHP over the LS1 intake.

What's the part number for the GM one that I can plug in? I know through sponsors the GM ones generally go for $440 so that's why I'd get the SLP one, it's only $400. If the list price from GM is $399 then I would get it through them. And the reason I'd buy new is that most of the ones that get sold in the for sale forum go for ~325-350. Once you add $40, coolant pipe and plugs to that, you're saving only $35 from buying a new one. I'll pay another $35 for a new part, used they just don't drop in price much which is why I would buy new. Thanks.

Forgive me for asking (n00b), but as I understand the SLP LS6 manifold has the LS1 EGR provisions yes? That being said, are there any other modifications needed to run an SLP LS6 IM on an LS1? Or are the other mods only pertaining to GM LS6 mani's?
And on a side note, one could simply delete the EGR system altogether with programmer correct? I was thinking EFI Live of HPTuners..?

This is the GM LS6 intake, correct? Here it's listed for $381 but this doesn't include the necessary coolant lines, correct? Or am I reading what's included wrong? So even direct from them it'd be like $420 with the coolant lines, right?

To really answer the performance question, the SLP LS6 intake is a GM LS6 intake with some fittings plugged into it to keep the EGR. You could make the same thing if you could find the same fittings. If you really want to run your EGR and a LS6 intake, the cleanest looking setup is to buy the Lingenfelter adapter.
