Is this an LS6 intake manifold?

Pulled off my manifold today to install the LS6 PCV valley cover. Motor supposedly came from a 2002 Camaro SS, which I assumed had an LS6 intake manifold.

Here are some pics, is this an LS6 or LS1 intake manifold?

Flat bottom=LS6. No EGR hole on top=LS6.

Sometimes I wonder how many times these LS6 intakes have changed hands... Fun thing to think about. Still a popular bolt-on.

Thanks guys, just wanted to confirm it. I almost have the car back together after installing the LS6 valley cover. I decided to send my throttle body out to be ported.

Sure was strange taking a cut off wheel to my block!

I would bet for every two FAST intakes, one guy upgraded from an LS6.

They change hands a TON!!

I wasn't very clear...so please no PM's...LOL
I bought an LS6 intake when it first became available back in the day. This replaced my LS1 intake because I was turbocharged and trying to get the most out of it. The old LS1 intake was then placed in my attic in some plastic and has been there ever since. So yeah if someone wants an LS1 intake then I don't mind selling it at all. But the LS6 intake is staying on the car. FAST or other intakes just didn't seem to give that much of a gain on the boosted cars.

So my LS6 intake is a single owner intake....LOL

No doubt... But the fast 78s are almost the price of LS6s now. I just picked one up, for 425 and sold my ls6 for 375, don't know if I'll gain any power tho... But I'm only out like 50 bucks plus shipping.
