on some you can you just have to watch out i dont know for sure but the intake gaskets on some of the later LS series intakes have a little stubby part on the top right portion of each gasket like a nipple sticking out, if you look up pics of the LS1 intake compare to the LS2 intake youll see what i mean, as long as the LS6 doesn't have those little nipples your good.

I reused my stock gaskets when I put the FAST 90/90 on my car a while back. You can get them from the parts store for about $30.
I would get new ones, I have reused in the past with sucsess but I also have had a vac leak and had to take the intake back off the same day it went on the car. So I spend a little extra and do it once.

Fel Pro intake manifold gaskets. I got mine from O'Reily auto parts. 1/3 of the price of the GM gaskets and comes with the 2 foam replacement pieces too. GM won't give you those wiith their gaskets.
