ls6 style intake
ls6 style intake im looking to upgrade the intake manifold on my 2000 ta im looking for something that is going to be good for power gains and not going to break the bank. i plan on using the stock P/P throttle body with it, let me know what you guys would go with.
You can get them with the egr. You can get the Weiand, Professional Products, or BBK. These are the alternatives aside from a fast. You can get a used intake for a fair price.

How hard is it to install the LS6 intake? Is it just a simple bolt-on, or is it better to take it to a mechanic? (i.e. if someone can figure out how to change their lid, would they be able to handle replacing their intake?)
edit: nevermind, I found the instructions on the slp website. Looks like a mechanics job to me.

Then you bought the wrong kind of car
Seriously though, start with little stuff, then move up. You'll get over your fear, its not hard and you have this site to help you. 
dude, when I got this car I bought a lid. At first it kicked my ***!! 
Since then (because of this site) I've intsalled a rear-end, suspension pieces, changed the plugs, and brakes. I am currently working on the LS6 intake (thats why this thread cought my eye) and its going fine so far.
I say GO FOR IT!! paying someone labor costs costs waaaaay too much.

If you can tie your shoes you can install a lid. If you can cut your own food at dinner you can install a manifold.
Just take your time... don't wrestle with the manifold ( generally leads to broken sending unit on the back).

J/K. I actually found some better instructions on ls1howto, doesn't look all that bad when it is spelled out better like it is there. (the pictures help as well) I might have to give it a shot.
i have a question about an intake say i buy the weiand natural aluminum intake and want to get it powder coated how hot does the intake manifold get and would the powder coating stay on the manifold or would it just come off.
