Intake Install
Intake Install I was just curious about how long would it take average Joe to install an intake on an LS1 and how much trouble?? I know the rest of the induction system will go fast but I figure the intake will take a good bit of time.

The title says lid, and then you are talking about intake manifold I assume?? The lid takes about 3 minutes and the intake manifold takes about 2 hours.
I see the title is now changed to intake

i put a fast toys ram air, with a lid and smooth bellows and it took me an hour to do (and thats including the cutting i had to do too)
but just changing a lid should only take a few minutes

It's actually pretty easy, just take your time. Leave the fuel rail on it until you get it out, alot easier to remove out of the car. And be real careful sliding the new one in place, it really sucks having to take it off the next day.
I typed this up in a hurry and accidently put "LID" instead of "INTAKE" (dont ask me how lol). I know the lid take about 1 min lol. Im gonna tackle the intake this weekend probably and be super careful not to break anything 
Intake and lid probly about 2 hours or so if your good with a wrench, you will want a 3/8" fuel line disconnect tool and yeah, be carefull to lift it vertically first then out, and dont forget your MAP sensor and brake booster hose is in the back. Dont over torque the manifold bolts!
