They did have them, like he said they were available on the early Vette's. Is it worth the $100? Yeah, turn around and sell it for more.

Look at the bottom of the intake, if its flat its a ls6, if its got the hump its a ls1.

If it really is a ls6, grab the deal and run

I agree, check the bottom if its flat its an LS6 but if it has a hump its a regular LS1 intake. To my knowledge Ls6 intakes never came with egr from the factory.

think i should let him keep the TB or think i should buy it and try to make some $$ off it ? i was kinda thinkin my stock would be better because stock its a 78mm and its ported but the fast is a 78mm and it has ridges in it...but an ls6 intake for 200 bucks is a good deal and it will make a nice addiction to my winter upgrades

stock TB is 75mm

thats a great deal on the LS6, I'd buy it for sure with you having the LS1 still.
Same as what others said on the EGR I think some did, and the SLP legal one did, but still check if it is a LS6. Its a easy fix, I like the freeze plug painted black. I little RTV to seal it, the right size fits great nice and tight. Looks the best over a rubber plugs, other things guys do.
I htink its 11/32s But look it up to be sure.

Thats right, stock TB is 75mm. If your stocker is already ported you can run it or sell it and that will pay the $100 for the FAST one. Basically making the FAST TB free. Thats what I would probably end up doing. And, like stated, confirm the bottom of the intake is flat, as the vette and SLP LS6s did have EGR.
