Yes, and it is heavier, and this is why most people use the LS6.

It will, but not enough to effect a measureable performance loss. Depending on your intentions the beauty of this intake is the fabrication options over our 'plastic' intake - direct port for funny gas and being able to fully port the runners for air volume capacities over our intakes. Not to mention the bling factor when polished
