Default LS6 Intake, ANYONE EVER HAVE THIS>?

I replaced my intake with a LS6. It didnt seem to fit right. Almost as if it was warped? I checked and checked to verify that no wires were caught under. I tightend it down and it popped twice? It runs well. I thought I cracked it but no leaks as of yet..

I got the same sound when I put my fast 90 on. I freaked out when I heard the same sound. And I thought I cracked it. I was just the intake popping in place.

As long as you didn't leave the coolant pipes in place under it, it should be fine. Otherwise...

You can get a dead blow and pound on the coolant lines too. Just a lil' bit.

Thats wierd. You sure you didnt get anything caught under it? after you mess around with it for a bit it should lay perfect. I have never had it pop on me before...

Did you follow the right torque sequence?. Mine made a little pop when I was taking it off but not putting it on. Hopefully it was just settling

I had this same problem when I installed my LS6. The clips were not allowing it to sit flush, it even rocked side to side a bit.

You can untape them from the knock sensor wires and remove them.
