Only about 50 mins left. What do you all think? You can't tell by the picture if it is a real LS6 can you? Thanks.

He does have good feedback.

You could always win and then ask for a part number before payment is sent.
I have had people ask me all sorts of crap after an auction ends and I still have 260 all positive feedbacks.
If the seller is cool that should not be a problem.

Yeah but if I could score it for under $300 that would be a pretty good deal though right? I will probably try to win it and then ask for the part #.

Isnt Ebay exciting when bidding on an item. Especially if you really want it. I pay more than what an item is worth sometimes because I get too caught up in it...lol

Good luck bidding man hopefully you win and yea under $300 would be a sweet deal I think considering what people pay for them on here. But now people seeing this might bid

when a real LS6 is flipped over it has a flat desing in the underside instead of a hump. if you bid on it have them send you a pic of the underside of it and then you can tell.

Thanks all. I know what to look for if it is flipped over but I wasn't sure if there was anyway to tell from the pic they have.

^^^ Exactly and like I said if the seller is cool he will understand that some people get screwed because they think they are buying an LS6 intake when it turns out to be an LS1. I have actually seen it where the buyer claims someone else told him this and that and he was clueless.

I didn't win it. I wish I would have won it now though. I got your PM CO99Z28Vert and I wish I would have gotten it earlier.

Hell, I NEVER bid on an item before 5 seconds left on an auction. Early bidding is just a stupid way of running up the bid.
