Default Differences in ls1 and ls6 intakes?

Is there a difference in the ls1 intake on the 98 camaro vs. the 97 corvette? No egr (corvette) everything else is the same?

What about the ls6 on the 2001 camaro vs. 97 corvette intake? Is this intake the same as the ls6 intake on the 2001 camaro? If not did they ever put an ls6 intake on a corvette other then the z06? What year did they start doing it?

Not counting EGR differences...

'98-'00 Camaro, '97-00 Vette = same

'01-'02 Camaro or Vette, any ZO6 = same

Many say the LS6 on the 01,02 camaro is worth a few ponies and some TQ.

The intake that came with your '01 or '02 F-body is the exact same thing as an LS6 intake. So, adding another LS6 intake will get you nothing.

The "many" that said that you would gain something were simply wrong.

Thanks Tony <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />
I worded my thread wrong. I meant to say that many have said that having the LS6 intake stock on the 01,02 LS1's slightly improved the stock numbers of some of these cars over LS1's of previous years.

Per GM the LS6 intake will ALLOW 10% more airflow. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

If, if you combo can use any part of this extra 10%, then you will see gains. <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

How can you distinguish a Non-EGR LS1 (Vette) intake from an LS6 intake...since neither have the EGR opening? Are there cosmetic differences to tell them apart?

I'm curious because I bought an "LS6 intake" from a vendor on the OTHER board and I managed to lose 3 rwhp and 3 rwtq after the install! Just thought that was fishy.

The LS6 intake is flat on the bottom while the LS1 intake has provisions for the cooling pipes.

Yeah I want to know what to look for when looking at an ls1 intake w/o egr vs. an ls6 intake with out an egr?

So I am looking for no holes in the bottom on the manifold? I have a casting number of the intake (12556333) it might be gm part number but when I went to the deal they said they could not convert the casting number to a gm part number.

One more thing you guy are so much eayer to talk to then the guys on ls1.com. My post will go with no replies

one more thing ? so 97 to 00 vets had egr holes in them? this intake i am looking at came off a vet but unknown year i know it's not a 01/02. it's older then that.

I am pretty sure the part number for the "newer" intake is 88890524. No C5 Corvette ever had EGR, so the Corvette intake would not have the EGR hole for the '97 to '00 models. It sounds like the part number you have is an '97 to '00 Vette intake, which is not the newer style intake.
