Is an intake manifold a waste? I have an 01 Coupe with K&N intake, BBK shorties, X-pipe and Borla Stingers and Dyno tune. Making 330RWHP now. Should I looking into getting an after market intake manifold? Or is the gain not worth the $$$$??

Unless you're planning bigger mods (heads/cams/etc) it is a waste.
The LS6 manifold you have now will support huge horsepower.
Why spend $700+ for a FAST intake only to net an extra 10-15?

Launching!
like the guys are saying do your other mods first. you will gain from a fast even with your current setup but you wouldnt see full benefit till you have done heads and cam or a big motor.

I agree, and I should have gotten LT Headers but at the time the shorites were an awsome deal ($175) used like new BBK coated.
Thought some earily 01 cars did not have the LS6 manifold?
