Default Question on my ls6 intake

I just bought this ls6 intake and it came in today. It is the intake in the pics. I got exactly what was in the pics. This will be the first time I have swapped a intake. Do I need all of the stuff on it. I do not think my ls1 intake has the extra pieces. Any one need these pieces if cant use them?

did you get the plugs for underneath and the new gaskets? other than that you should be good to go. i honestly don't know why some people grind away at their blocks when they can easily buy the plugs almost every chevy pontiac dealership keeps in stock

Clothespins for the rear 5 intake bolts. Makes it very easy to have them held up when you pull the intake off the motor. Good luck.

I have ordered new gaskets and the coolant block off. I also ordered the air and egr block off plates for my headers. Do I just pull the egr out? what about the air?
^Thanks I will use the cloths pins to hold up the bolts, good idea.

I thought the OBX were all race style. In any case, what you'll do is pull the EGR off, you could still use AIR if you wanted, LS1/LS6 intake has no bearing on that. I'm not entirely sure if I answered your question tho

I used small pieces of hose to hold up the rear bolts on the intake.

OBX have the egr tubes and all of the O2 bungs unless they have changed, I have had mine for a year. I guess I will search on how to get rid of the air. Does the egr cause a poping noise in the exhaust?
