How to do your own EGR provision on a LS6 manifold? I'm going to pick up a LS6 manifold for $350 with coolant plugs and such. What all do I need to do my own egr provision like the SLP intake? I don't feel like spending $465 plus $26 for shipping for theirs since it seems like it's just a brass fitting. So what do I need and how do I do it? Thanks!

On the other hand, what is involved for removing the EGR? What does it look like after you're done?

I'll probably just go with the SLP since I don't have much of an option.

I would try a hardware store and look for a compression fitting. That all the slp fitting looks like. I going to try that. A piece of plastic for $150 seems crazy.

I would say just delete it it's much easier that way IMO I took mine off, and it was easy. The only hard part was removing the pump from the bottom side of the car on the drivers side, under the fuse box and headlight. If you have to have the egr provison I would buy the slp so you don't have to worry about vacum leaks and the compression fitting not sealing up once you cut out the area.

The LPE works great I put it on my old LS6 intake, you just set it in the cavity for the egr on the intake and use a hole saw to cut the hole then I took it out and cleaned up the cut edges and used the silicon on the bottom of the adapter and set it back in and it looks completly stock just like the LS1 intake.
