Can't tell from the picture, but if it doesn't have the hole for the egr on top then it is an ls6.

No, that is an LS1 intake. You can tell as the floor of the intake on an LS6 intake is flat. Have a look at the following pic from ls1howto.com and the LS6 intake is on the right, LS1 on the left.

Thanks for clearing that up Brett. I guess I'm not buying it then. I didn't even think to check ls1howto.com. Thanks again.

Not true.

There are 97-00 Corvette LS1 intakes without EGR. From the bottom, to me that looks like an LS1 intake. Check the part number to be safe.

Opps, sorry about that, i thought if it didnt have the egr hole it was an ls6. Im not selling it i just saw it and thought you might be interested.

The only time I cant see over the hood is going over a crest of a hill.

2 ways to tell by looking at the bottom of it.
Like Brett said, flat bottom = LS6, round bottom = LS1.
Also look at the bars in-between the ports on the sides... on an LS1 intake they're diagonal (kinda making an X), and on an LS6 intake they're horizontal & vertical (kinda making a +).
Did that make sense?
