What did you do about EGR? Or was this the SLP LS6 manifold with EGR provisions?

i just ground minw flat, but really you only have to tap those lines down a little to be even with the valley cover bolts. theres only about 1/8th of an inch betwwn the top of those bolts and the top of the coolant lines.

now as stated a FAST is a defferent story, but if you save up enough to buy an $800 intake, you can afford a $36 set of lines, until then, dremels work fine...

It makes a difference, I gained 10 rwhp untuned and ran a new best of .5 quicker after I installed mine.

took me and my buddies 4 hours, but about 1.5 hours was trying to cut the EGR tube with the tools I had at my house LOL.

If we did it again, especially with no EGR on it, it'd take no more than 2 hours...
