Ok well I just picked up an ls6 intake for a hell of a price. Only thing is that is alittle dirty and what not, so i cleaned up the outside real nice but I am not sure how dirty it is on the inside. What would be the best way to clean the inside of this intake?

Soap and water, carb cleaner, degreaser. Whatever.. Just clean it and let it dry out before install.

Spray it with any de-greaser or carb cleaner. let it sit and wipe it out.

i don't see why using water would be a problem AS LONG AS YOU LET IT SIT AND DRY! don't soak it, take it out and put it on, soak it overnight and let it dry for a few days until you're sure it's dry inside. you can speed up the process by taking a hairdryer and shooting the warm air inside the intake.

once it's nice and dry it'll be fine, just don't install til you're sure.

its essentially a big chunk of nylon plastic.

it wont react with any normal soaps, or solvents... and water doesnt harm it..

feel free to throw it in the bathtub, take a shower with it, or soak it in a bucket...

Ok what is with the foam pieces on the bottom? What are they for?

I believe those are to keep air from flowing in the gap between the manifold and valley cover. A guy I know had his FAST intake whistle a little because it didn't have that foam.
