The LS6 wouldn't drop because the LSX is an aftermarket part.

Performance does not drive the cost of GM parts. GM parts are mostly used to repair damaged vehicles, or vehicles where the owner does not know or care what part is put in, they just want the OE part. That's what drives those prices. Performance upgrades using OE parts is a niche market that usually car manufacturers could care less about.

I thought they would drop as well...when I wasn't sure if I should wait and get the 78mm FAST intake (relaize now that it might not show enough gains over an LS6 intake on a mild bolt on car) I figured the used LS6 intakes would drop in price but it didn't really happen.
I was still fortunate enough to find one from a friend for only $250.00 but I still need the coolant pipes and plugs, anyone know who has them the cheapest?
