Default Will anyone notice if I turn in my 04 GTO lease....

....with an LS1 intake and keep the LS6 intake for my project car? Also, will this LS6 intake (from 04 GTO) bolt right up to my LS2 ZL402 block?

You'll need to find an LS1 intake from a vette so theres no hole in it for EGR. But I don't think anyone will notice (i used to work at a pontiac dealership)

I guess you have to decide if you're the kind of person that would do something like that. But can you imagine what the world would be like everyone did this kind of thing?

I figure that I would beat it like a rental, spray the **** out of it, and turn it in. LS1 intake will be the least of the problems that they will have with this car once I'm done beating on it.

Just FYI, having done this type of work in the past, GM has a complete department in each region that do nothing but inspect lease turn-in's. You may get away with it, but if you don't, you pay for the work to make the car right. The inspection isn't done by the dealer's used car lot.

If the car is turned in with a rod knock, and it's determined to be 'abused', you'll buy Pontiac an engine...

Kind of not worth doing for a $300 intake.

I know I beat the Hell out of rentals. Hell My parents even beat the crap out of them. We got a rental truck that is exactly like my moms. 2003 Dodge Ram 2X4 4.7 V8. She runs hers pretty hard and the little gauge usually reads about 15 mpg, the rental we got said 9!!!!!!! I think most people beat on rentals.

Not cool.

If you want a 402, might as well do it right with a FAST LSX90.

i used to work for a dealership and we never once turned in rentals to get inspected, all we did was a visual, and driving inspection. and i would almost gaurentee that the dealer wouldnt catch it. so go for it!

Don't do it, it's dishonest and just marks you. If you would lie about the intake, you would no doubt do worse deeds with no regret until one day it all catch's up with you.

Be honorable to your fellow Americans and let's help the world become a better place.
