Ls6 Intake Install Questions
Ls6 Intake Install Questions Ok plan on installing a ls6 intake off of a 02 ss on to my 99z other than the crossover ls6 tube is there anything les i need to install when i switch it out? i have heard about replacing the oil pressure sending unit and the knock sensors ?

make sure you have the intake seated all the way down..and once again watch the OSU .... i broke mine and didnt know it till i started my car went to get gas and it looked like a fog machine under my car from the oil burning 
this thread is a little old but I have a question.
when your doing the install do you just leave all the coolant tubes and plugs alone if you've grinded the ribs on the ls6 intake? I shouldn't have to mess with those tubes at all if I grind down the ribs?? also, if I grind down the ribs and leave the foam padding on there will I then have to mess with the coolant tubes?? TIA

No, you won't have to mess with the coolant tubes if you grind down the ribs ... that's the whole point. The foam padding won't affect the tubes. Once you have the intake off, you can see where you'll need to grind the ribs to clear the tubes. It will all be apparent.
