It's supply and demand. Lots of folks are retrofitting LS motors into just about anything and the LS6 intake is a popular choice when choosing parts. They can still be found for a deal on the trader. You just have to watch and be fast because they sell quickly. A new one can be bought for $500, so when someone sells one for $400 shipped it's still not a terrible deal. I found one locally on craigslist for $200.
Prices for these things have gotten a little out of hand. For $800 you can get the 102mm Fast intake with shipping included! People just tend to over price things way too much. I think LS6 intakes go for $500 new at Summit Racing.
There are alot of people pulling LS engines out of trucks to put them in project cars (including me). They all need a car intake!
It's simply supply and demand. You want one, you're going to pay. Personally, if you can get a new one from Summit for $500. I would do that simply because you know nothing is wrong with it.
I feel the same way about the FAST 90-92 intakes. I want one, but people are selling them for $1500!!! Considering the FAST 102 is $799 all over. $350-$450 is about what I would pay for a FAST 90-92
Thats the way it goes.

Verdad Gallardo Intake is an intake, just because you need addtional parts to make it work doesnt justify jacking up the price on the old intakes.

I agree 100%. I wouldn't pay that amount for a 90 or 92.
I was just saying for those who think they can just buy a 102 for $800 and bolt it on its not that easy. There is a substantial amount more needed than just the intake itself to make it work.

Because finding a FAST 78 is like finding a unicorn when chances are you can throw a dead cat and land within 20 yards of a LS6. (although I did find a FAST 78 and got it ported for less than a new LS6 intake)
One dumbass pays 409 for an ls6 and other people see it so they set there price at that. I was going to sell my ls6 intake for 300 but I saw people were getting 350 plus shipping for them so I sold mine at that.
Simply because the LS community is getting dumbed down because kids can afford these cars now and dont know any better. They dont buy the aluminum manifolds because they "heatsoak" which is bs, they wont buy the 102 because its "too big", that drives up the price of the other FASTs so they cant afford them, so the LS6 is the only thing left, therefore creating a demand. I for one cannot wait to get rid of my LS6 intake

Was going to do a used ls6 myself, but now will do a TPIS 90 version, LS2 and port it myself or a FAST 102 over time. This thread is right on. New can be had for 499 last time I checked. Do they not make them anymore?
