I'm In the process of getting a ls6 intake for my ls1 camaro ss and if I cut the bottom of it do I still need the foam pads Underneath the intake but if I don't do that I'm still wanting to put the pads on thanks guys

only remove the bottom ribs to clear the ls1 coolant lines .the foam means nothing.

You can also buy the ls6 coolant line and plugs and you dont have to do anything to the intake, intake will work with or without the foam

The foam is used to keep debree away from your knock sensors, FYI.

Canadian LS1

When we did the swap we just put in the front pad too keep debris out.....back left open to run out any moisture and not trap it in with better air circulation.

I would just get the ls6 coolant lines.

On the topic of LS6, can anyone verify this is an LS6 intake from this pic, or are other pics needed? Also, anything look wrong? Thanks!!

I would say yes. If it doesnt have the egr stuff it probably is. Ive heard slp made and ls1 intake without egr but ive never seen one.

Yes, that is an LS6 manifold as it is flat on the bottom. The LS1 has a rise down the middle. I would also request the part number from the side of it to make sure.

Here is a pic from when I swapped mine. The left is LS6 and right is LS1

i wouldnt , its free to take a chisel and hammer and knock off all the ribs, took me 5-10 min to do all of them . No need to waste money on them .

Anyone have a PN for the steam lines that connect all 4 ports & come to the front?

I done this swap about 2 weeks ago I chiseled the fins on the bottom where the lines run it went back on with out a problem, but when removing the stock I did brake the oil pressure sending unit (even though I tried not to) might want to have one on hand just in case if you dont use it just return it (rent the install tool for it while your at it)

as for the foam pads they come with the new gaskets so you dont have to worry about where to get them from so why not just put them back? ($19 from autozone felpro)

taking my time it was 4 hours for me and a tube of Neosporin
