Default Well I got my LS6 Intake on

My friend came over and we finally got it all back installed. Reinstalling was much easier than taking the stock ls1 intake off. Got everything tightened up and stuff and fired her up without any leaks or anything. Took her out and let her breathe a lil bit and it does pull harder on the big end especially. Gets up to my trap speed a lot quicker. I am happy now. next things to tackle is new y pipe w/flowmaster merge and subframe connectors. I just wanted to post my opinion and that I was happy with it. now all I need is my emissions **** programmed out.

Brian

Good to hear. I didnt feel much of a gain after installing mine, I feel it was worth the money though.

Wouldn't hurt to invest in some of these.
Why spend all that money on go fast parts, but not protect your hands while installing them?

Next time grab a pair of wire cutters and snip off all of the pointed tips for the weather strip fasteners. That's what scrapes the arms up.
