I'm having mine installed now, I got a new gasket with my intake. My 98 LS1 has an EGR but my intake will not so it will have to be tuned out.

I was wondering because I've been told that because my LS6 intake has no hole for an EGR Pipe I would have to just block the hole in the exhaust manifold and then have a Tuner tune it out. First time I've heard of yours.

Only SLP LS6 intakes can be had with EGR holes. EGR was deleted at basically the same time the LS6 was put on engines so they kind of cancel each other out. SLP made a retrofit intake to retain emissions though.

The gaskets are reusable(only reuse them if they are not flattened out) ,TB, fuel rails, and etc. are all reusable. Its a direct swap once you have the ribs cut away from the bottom of the ls6 intake or use ls6 coolant lines if you dont want to cut your intake.

LS6 intakes dont not come with egr hole like 01ssreda4 said unless you buy the slp one
