Going from ls6 manifold to ls1 Alright guys i know your probably thinking why the hell would i want to replace my perfectly good ls6 manifold for a ls1 one. Well dont really care much for the performance difference and well i have a friend that really wants it so his willing to give me his ls1 plus some cash.
First questions: Is there anything i would have to do to make the ls1 manifold work on my car? i know about pluffing the egr stuff.
second questions: will it throw any codes?
Basicly just looking to see if there any alterations i have to do to my car to make it work.
Car is a 2002 a4 camaro z28

1.) Don't do it!! If you don't care about improving your car or atleast maintaining it then you probably shouldn't be on here!
2.) ^^^ What he said. Tell him to buy it from one of our sponser's!

there's alot of wires and such by the intake, personally, i don't think its worth messing something up when your buddy can spend a little extra coin and get one for himself. besides, theres a guy on this board that buys LS1 intakes for 50 bucks a pop if he wants to save a little extra cash

^^^^^^^Listen to these guys! I would not alter the car in that way, that will make the car not original, and it is a downgrade. You could also run into problems if you resell the car and are dealing with an informed buyer. If I saw that intake on an 02 model I would be thinking "replacement motor". If you must though, this is a good site: www.ls1howto.com.

What about the coolant line that you have to switch to put an LS6 intake on an LS1? Wouldn't that have to be switched to the LS1 line? I say keep your car the way it is.

haha...seems like going into a performance oriented forum and asking questions on downgrading performance got you some 
yeah dude, as stated you shouldn't need much to swap for the LS1 intake. but it's just a bit of a hassle. tell your bud to buy his own...lol.
