Default are all LS6 intakes created equal?

i know there LS6 intakes on the later camaro's/firebirds, GTO's, Vetts, etc. Do they all have similar power gains or are some better than the others? I am looking to put it on my 2000 Z28.

The only differences would be ones made to work with the older cars to work with the EGR, stuff like that. They will all give the same hp/tq gains.

I heard a while back that the actual Z06 LS6 intake was better than the 01+F Body intakes. I just heard this dont know if this true.

I thought the intake manifolds from late 01's and all the 02's were the Z06, maybe I'm wrong

No, they are diff. Don't bother with the weiand. If your wanting more than the LS6 intake/stock ported TB can provide you, and want to spend some money, go with a FAST 90 setup over the weiand.

Absolutely false information.

All LS1 and LS6 engines from 2001+ came from the factory with the LS6 manifold.
