Default I need front 01-02 style coolant bypass pipe #12578838!!

Someone posted about a dealer in NY having this part. I can't find it anywhere. I know this is backordered, but if anyone can help me out, I'd like to get one. Otherwise I guess I can cut it at the y and plug it. I got the rear "plugs" which I guess says GM no longer saw it necessary for the rear ends of the heads to get coolant passage.

Looks like I'm going to trim plastic from underneath manifold to clear coolant pipes. Thanks goes out to Trevor at Texas Speed. Also got my intake manifold gaskets from him at a deal as well.

No. The ls6 intake upgrade requires modification to bolt on a pre 2001 car. I just dremeled off the area underneath the manifold to clear the coolant pipes. Much easier and cheaper.
