I really wish that (Intake rant)

It amazes me how many people complain about the weight that an aluminum intake adds to a street car, as if the extra 15 pounds will make it take longer to stop or cost some grip in the corners
In an all out race car weight matters, but on the street, come on.

I couldn't find it on SLP's Website, but I did find it for sale at the WS6Store. Here is a link...

I wouldn't want to pay what they're asking for it just to retain the EGR.
You could probably find a used LS6 Intake, A Block Off Plate for the passenger side Header/Manifold, and a Mail-Order-Tune from Frost to delete the SES Code for less than the price of this piece.

I don't want to derail this thread and start a flame war, but in my opinion, I believe heatsoak from an aluminum intake robbing power versus a composite intake is a old wives tale. If it were true all aftermarket performance intakes would be plastic instead of aluminum.

Performance aluminum intakes on traditional small and big blocks that separate the plenum from the valley (which contacts hot oil and coolant) MAKE MORE POWER.
Icing a metal intake is a time proven way to increase power. Icing a stock 5.0 Mustang intake or LT1 intake has been well documented to improve track ET and traps speeds. Stock cars have seen .2 ET improvement, with another MPH or two. Heatsoak can rob a lot more power than people like you give credit to.
