ls6 intake install (grinding)

I'm about to throw an ls6 intake on my 00 t/a. I'm going to stay with my coolant lines and grind the bottom down. I was wondering what you guys used to do this? Sandpaper?

I used a dremel. Worked out pretty well.

It's just small plastic fins. Dremel, drill with sandpaper rolls, pocket knife, whatever it takes.

+1 the link from HavATampa

I used an air die grinder with a carbide bit.

I was careful with the cuts but it took no time.

We went ahead and dremeled it then put it back on. BUT, I have a vacuum leak somewhere, argghhhh. You can hear it at idle but goes away when it I give it any gas.

I'm going to check the hoses tomorrow. Also, I don't think my map sensor made a great seal to the new intake. The only other possibility is that I didn't cut the ribs all the way down flat. Do you have to get those dead even with the flat surface underneath? I can't wait to rip it all off again
