Just check what different shops sell them and see who is cheaper, im sure you can check the dealer but they will probably rape you price wise. But yeah if your thinking of buying the lines your better off just cutting the tabs like mentioned above.

Go to LS1howto.com and on the right you'll see the Fbody section i believe its #17 titled intake swap or something. And the thing with cutting the tabs, just grind them down like in the picture posted above on post #4.
