Theirs 2 of them posted on e-bay right now. One has part #12561184,
The other is #12573572
Whats the difference? I'm going to do bbk lt headers with this intake so I'll be deleting my air/erg..So the one off the camaro looks about right I think.
If anyone wants to take a look and see if they or which one is worth it, it would be greatly appreciated...(I have a 99 TA a4) I would also need to buy a intake manifold coolent pipe kit for the change, anything else I should need for the complete install of just the intake? Seems like I'd save money as oppososed to buying it off the ws6 store new for 550$ just for the intake..
Thank you..

What exactly does modifying stock coolent lines do, I thought an ls6, the lts, and dyno would be at the least a 30some hp gain. I'm really not too concered about saving a few $$$.. Considering I pay for all the labor that's done to my car..I'm busy no time at all....but If these intakes are the exact same as the ws6 stores..then why not save 1/2 the price for the same ****...

You can literally do an intake swap in 45 minutes, I'd give a first timer hour an half. Few simple tools.
Are you going with an ory? Cutout? Muffler?

12561184 is an f-body part. Which means that has provisions for mounting the TB cable bracket.
12573572 is a corvette part. So it didn't need the cable bracket and it doesn't have the threaded bosses for those bolts. You will need to rig something up on this one to make it work. Or destroy your stock one and steal those bosses.

An ls6 intake is an ls6 intake. Buy a used one In the classifieds for 275-350$. Same exact thing as buying them, you just have to spend about five more minutes and save some money. I'm sure whoever does your work for you knows how to do it. If they have swapped a few intakes then I'm sure they know how to do it. You can search and find a full write up in a few minutes.

I'm sure that if someone were to buy a standard LS6 #12573572 manifold, it would have the cable bracket boss.
SLP would buy manifolds from G.M. and then modify them by installing Swageloc fittings for EGRs. That was the only mod made to the manifold. I know what I'm talking about because I have one. SLP stopped selling these manifolds a while back. Now I think the only manifold they sell is part of a package including heads.

Also for a little FYI , you have a foul mouth.

I 'll try to explain a little clearer. The 12573572 manifold came with a molded in boss with threaded brass inserts for a cable bracket.

How stupid would SLP be for selling you a $600 stock intake that you had to work on before you put in on your car.
I had a CTSV that I sold the intake off of and I can tell you that it was a 3572 with no bosses. I also know people who have had to modify there's.
