Most used ls6's are going for 350 shipping on here...more on ebay
Then another $60.00 for the coolant crossover brings you to at least 410.
SLPonline is 400 and then 20 for shipping.
IMO I'll pay $10.00 more for a brand new intake.
Seems like a no brainer to me

I dunno I just dont like putting used parts on my car.

Right im not saying used parts are garbage, but when it comes to something like an intake manifold that is made of plastic composite im just sort of weary about buying it from a board member, especially when its as much if not more than a new one (when you factor in the coolant lines and coolant plugs). Other items such as used cylinder heads or headers, or catback i can see buying used as they are usually much cheaper than they retail new, but it seems that the price of used LS6 intakes just keeps increasing on this board and on ls1.com. I remember a year or 2 ago when used ls6's went for about $200-$250 shipped, but now with everyone asking for $350 bucks or more its just not worth it, especially since you could get a chipped/cracked intake or be scammed and get a used LS1 and not an LS6. JMO.
