If you flip the intake over and it is flat, it is a LS1 intake.
If is more of a "V" it is a LS6.

Cheers!

Im pretty sure they mean that all the o4 GTO's have LS1 engines but they should have LS6 intakes.

Any LS1 engine produced and equipped into a car that is an 01 model year or later has an ls6 intake.

You have to look out because some will even have the flat bottom and wont have the egr. You have to go by the part # if the part # ends with 333 its junk.
