Default Quick input(HELP)

I am going to order some LT pacesetters that are ceramic coated. I think im going to go with the race style ones (no egr)....Will i experience any problems removing this from my car besides the code light?????....Ive read up a little bit and people say its fairly easy to do, but is it safe??? Also can it be done with my stock LS1 manifold with blockoff plates??? THANKS

Sure can, & it want hurt performance a bit. I had mine off for about a year before a tune, never had the 1st problem. It was also with the stock intake. SES light comes on & thats it..

SES light will come on. You will save a little weight, not hear the whirring sound that comes from the air pump, and you will clean up your engine bay. I also don't like the idea that I'm getting exhaust pumped back through the engine.

Don't forget the 1 3/8 freeze plug for the intake if it's 2000 or older.
