I used a hammer and chisel. Worked like a charm.

call them and ask for regular mail shipping, should be like 5.00 bucks or go to gm, hacking a ls6 manifold for a 20.00 part? I would not do it, but a few have.

the stock ls1 lines will hit the ls6 intake manifolds bottom because tis FLAT not CURVED like the LS1 is.

whats wrong with grinding off the ribs? They dont do **** really, and lets not try the "strength" card for the intake either. anyone using an ls6 probably wont have enough of a motor to bust the intake because you cut off some rinky dink plastic veins.

Is this just LS6 specific.. the L76 Intake clears the Lines.
