polished meaning ling/weiand? um the same price as always lol...if your talking a take off ls6 prices still havent come down much...mainly cuz there havent been any huge gains with the lsx so alot that might have stepped up have just stayed with whats proven.

id say get a take off unit from an 01-02 model & !egr & !air...the aluminum ones tend to heat soak and make a little less power...it can be pretty heavily ported im sure but few want to spend the extra $ on that. BTW why is this in internal?

A regular plastic LS6 intake is still worth about $400 new. The LSX intake is significantly more expensive than what you can get a LS6 intake for, so its availability has had almost no impact on the prices of a GM LS6 intake.

I wouldn't pay anymore than $300 shipped used. In fact, thats what I paid for my last one.

Peace,
Josh

I've got my second Holley/Weiand intake. You can pick one up for around 300 used and I gained 12hp over an ls6 intake with it . If you find one you don't need to polish it...have it powder coated A friend of mine locally does powder coating here in denton, TX. He can hook you up.
