The intake will go right on your car, I don't know if you are a Corvette or Camaro. If your a Corvette tehn it will work but if your a Camaro then bolt your stock throttle body on the intake.

If the ls6 intake is off of a vette you will have to switch it as the vettes have drive by wire TBs. If not, I believe it doesn't matter which one you use, I'd go with which ever had the least miles/in best condition. I would def. port which ever tb you go with, takes like 30 mins and is extremely easy, I've done it to both my of ls powered cars.

Good luck
