You do this to clear the ls1 coolant lines. You can buy the ls6 lines. Just get a hammer and a chisel for the ribs. I was able to hit them pretty hard without causing any problems. I ended up just clearing all the ribs off the bottom.

You can also use a 1 1/2" air buffer......just do one rib at a time and you can make it look like it came from the factory like that, Also another thing i did was take the clips and all the black shielding off the tubes, then very carefully hammered them to almost a oval shape...you might want to take them off for that though.
I used a razor to cut into the plastic first on both sides of the rib, then used a chisel to knock the ribs off, that produced a cleaner break of the plastic. Finished off with some sanding of any sharp areas.
