search the classifieds to buy used. They are over $500 new, which almost isnt worth it.

you better make sure it is a ls6 intake and not a ls1, if it is ls6 for $200 I bet it is already gone

on a bolt on car a LS6 intake is probably worth 10-15 hp. As soon as you start adding things like bigger cam, heads, the gain increases.

If you can get a LS6 intake for $200 in good shape, I'd jump on that.

Not true. That's what they go for on HERE, but they're cheaper elsewhere. I got an LS6 intake (yes, I checked the part # and it is an LS6) on Craigslist for $200 with a ported throttle body included. They're out there, if you're willing to wait and look. Just look up the part numbers and make sure you know what you're getting.

Honestly from what I've seen on here the majority of them go for 300 shipped or plus shipping, I would never pay a dime more then that. Although I have seen some go for a little more but thats b/c its either had a TB with it or some kind of paint.
