Default Does SLP LS6 intake still leak?

Do they still have the o-ring leak?Or should I just get a regular LS6 intake and buy the coolant lines and plugs for my "99" TA?

If the design has not changed on the egr o-ring, I would not buy a SLP ls6 intake. I personally worked on one. O-rings are not designed to seal surfaces with a major slope.

i have an slp ls6 intake that was purchased in June 02. the erg fitting is not a rubber o-ring but rather a brass compression ring similar to a plumping fitting...

it works fine and does not leak....

The thread lives!

Anybody installed the SLP EGR LS6 intake lately and had leaking problems? I haven't heard of any leaks recently and am thinking they may have fixed the problem.
