I hate to say this, but I can now say with absolute certainty that this will not work. Hopefully your LS6 intake has not been hacked too bad that TPIS cannot fix it. The piece that TPIS uses necks down at the end, as there is not enough height under the front runner to allow a true 90mm inlet. You may get yours to fit, and you may be able to successfully affix it, but without the proper step down you are going to have a huge lip that will severely block airflow.

I think he will pull it off. However, Molecules of two different plastics will not properly bond. You have to use the same type of plastic. As for the turnup, just fishmouth the bottom of the inlet, heat it up just enough to get a smooth bend and trim the bottom of the plenum to compensate. Good luck. I would love to see this work. I have seen similar things work with an ls6 intake that were done in the garage, just not quite 90mm.
