Is this a for real LS6 intake

This is a completely new TPIS (Tuned Port Induction Specialties) 90mm oval throat LS6 intake manifold for 1997- 2004 C5 Corvette and Z06 models with the LS1, LS6 or LS2 engines.

It's specifically designed for the TPIS 90mm billet alum. oval throttle body for very high performance engine output. It makes an excellent upgrade choice for a head/cam package, supercharged, turbocharged and stroker engines to let them breath for BIG power

Or a C5 manifold, I understand that the C5's from '97 on, never had EGR provisions. So just because there is no EGR hole, doesnt mean LS6 automatically. JMO

like 2mffz28 said, best way to check is to look at the bottom to see if its flat

sure looks like they epoxied on a 90mm opening and tryed to make it look factory. Only way to tell is to look on the underside and see if its flat. Eitherway I wouldn't want it, I'd rather spend the money and get the LSX. At least with that you know its quality and you can port if necessary.

LS6 intake manifold (01-02) = 88894339 (formerly 88890524, 88890523, 12561184)
LS6 intake manifold (from Corvette Z06) = 12573572

yes it is an intake manifold off of a Z06 corvette.

and to the other guys...they said in their description specificly that they modified it for a 90mm throttle body. you cant just look at that one and say if it is an LS6 intake or not, you need to run the part#. Neverstock..that intake is modified for the 90mm TB, so you would probably have to get another TB if you got that, i dont know if thats what you want to do or not. if thats NOT what you want to do dont get that intake.
