Here's the LS6 intake:


Here's the LS1 intake:


Also, there were two threads within the last 4 months where someone posted a side by side picture.
The search isn't working for me right now, but you should try to find that thread.

Are there outrageous benefits to changing to LS6 intake?

For a stock(ish) type car you'll see small results but nothing to shake a stick at. The ls6 intake will really start to shine once your mod list starts to increase...IE: bolt-ons/cam, etc

All LS6 intakes have the flat bottom and all LS1 intakes don't.

Some Vette's had LS1 intakes without EGR.
SLP also sells an LS6 intake with the EGR provision.
So it's hard to tell which it is when the intake is on the car.

And of course you can check the part number ...

the LS6's plastic ribs on the bottom are all squared off, I think the LS1's are kind of slanted
