Default Intake question

I've asked this before but never got an answer. SLP, I know that's not the best company to buy from but, they have an LS6 intake for a C5 for $399.99 and then for an f-body for $499.99. My question is, why is it so much more for the f-body than for the C5? Won't the C5 one fit on the f-body?

The one they're selling for the FBody has the EGR fittings on it. You can use the $399 C5 one, but it requires you remove your EGR system. Sicne you've already removed that, from your sig, you'd need to get the C5 one.

No boneyards around your way with a wrecked '01-up
Camaro or Firebird? Not everybody knows that a plastic
intake manifold "ought to" cost $300.
