That'd be a waste seeing as how I think the stock intake is 75mm. Not that much of an increase in real estate there.

I agree go with a 90, your not going to see or feel much over a ls6 intake.

When I got mine yrs ago it came with nothing.You need to swap the map sensor and make sure you get a good seal or it will leak.I was told I could reuse the gaskets but found they didn't seal and had to get new ones which meant the intake had to be taken off.

yeah some people cant read i guess.....you guys ask why the 78mm???because i get bacicaly the same manifold as the 90 or 92 and i can put a stock ported tb on it....

i just cant see putting 1300 in a intake and tb setup...and from what ive gatheredthe inlet is the only real difference...

does any one know if it comes with bolts...I havent had a stock intake on the car for over 2 years...

From the FAST webpage:

"IMPORTANT NOTE – Gen III intake port seals are re-usable from the factory and therefore are not included with an LSX™ manifold."

YES it comes with bolts...at least my 92mm did.It also had the TB seal and bolts for the cable bracket.

Why it doesnt come with intake seals i dont know, the grooves are cut deep and the stock seals would barely work. Then you have to pay the extra $25 for the FAST intake port seals.

You don't need to buy them from FAST. Just get some stockers at your local auto parts store. I reused the gaskets from my oem intake - no problems.
