any that you find is gonna be fine, IMO best bet is to get a used one from the for sale section, 2001-2002 came with them so most of those guys that upgrade to FAST's sell their old ones for a pretty good price.

If you live in a state where you have to pass sniffer tests, then SLP sells one where you can retain EGR, if you dont need emmision's, junk it.

as far as TB's your stock one will fit fine, just do what i and most other guys do and Port it, the gains from that are equal to any aftermarket 78mm youll find, and MUCH cheaper

That pretty much covers it. It really only comes down to price. Beware of ebay. If it is from a "vette" it can still be an LS1 intake depending on the year. ask for pictures. Should have a flat bottom with no wave to it.
