The LS6 intake don't use the return to the rear, .The fitting on the rear are blocked off and the front is only a cross over pipe. The tube the goes from the front to the rear is deleted.You can get them from a GM dealer =

just knock em all off raymond... I just did this over the weekend and it wasn't too bad despite me ripping my skin when I try to loosen/tighten the back bolts on the manifold. Click my screen name and look for my thread. Make sure you are very careful removing the intake/replacing with the booster hose since the oil sensor unit is in the way.

I just cut mine off after the Y in the front, and left nubs on the two back connections. Then I busted out the good 'ole JB Weld, filled the openings where I cut them off and crimped them. No leaks and it does the job with only $4 invested into the stick of JB Weld.
