I just bought an ls6 intake off of a guy on here and he told me what to get but i cant remember what it is. I think he said it was a coolant block off line or something to that effect. I was wondering where i could buy it and what the part number is. I went to the chevy dealership today and the guy there didnt know what it was. So if any of you guys know please let me know. Thank you

You can grind the ribs down on your LS6 intake instead of wasting $50.00

Ok thank you. How much would it be shipped and i might need gaskets also. Thanks

Skeet Skeet

How would you do that. I dont really no what all is involved with this install.

How much power do you guys think i will gain with this intake. Will i be able to feel it?

they guy i bought my intake off of included it with the intake. Ive read where people just take a chisel and hammer to take them off or you can use a grinder.

Skeet Skeet

Are you talking about the little cross ridges on the intake or the coolant pipes. Im assuming the ridges

Yes, the ridges on the bottom of the intake is what you will need to grind down if you do not want to buy the new coolant lines.

Skeet Skeet

ok so if i grind them off then i dont have to buy those new lines and i could just keep those stock lines running through the valley right? or do i have to cut and crimp the stock ones?

If you grind your LS6 intake then you don't need new coolant lines or need to modify your old ones.

oh ok thank you guys very much. so what do most of you guys do? will it hurt the intake structure st all

SSmoken

I grinded mine down but some people dont like to and as for structure I havent had any problems or heard of any with people grinding them so you should be good to go.

I took all the ridges off with a sharp chisel and hammer. Was MUCH quicker than using a grinder, at least for me. Just take your time. My intake was brand new, I had to pause for a sec before I started chiseling away.

thanx for all the help guys. Im just waiting for this stupid "hurricane" to go away and then im gonna start the install

be very careful with the Oil Sending Unit when you remove & replace it.. Also search on the intake threads and it's recommended if you're doing the install to put some rtv sealant around the KS(s) to avoid them shortening out..

One of mine shorted out the next day since it rained and now my SES light is on.. waiting to get them shipped now and I'm out of pocket another $105

Skeet Skeet

Ok will do but i dnt really know what the oil sending unit looks like lol. Also what is a KS(s)? I might just have my mechanic do it to be safe but i really wanna do it myself ya know what i mean
