the ls6 looks flatter on the bottom than the ls1 intake. Kind of tough to tell since you already have it on the car though.

you can get the 8 digit part number off it and post it up. you can also post a pic of it and someone can identify it for you.

I just checked this the other night as well. Here you go.

The old LS1 intake with the EGR setup is 12560688.

The Stock 2001-2002 F-body LS6 is 12561184.

The Z06 LS6 is 12573572.

also just look at the coolant lines. If there is a coolant line running under the intake then its more then likely a ls1. If LS6 there will be no lines under the intake. You'll be able to tell if the line T's off and goes under.

OEM LS6 intake do not have EGR, all LS1 intakes do.
Then only LS6 intake with a EGR port are the aftermarket ones.

would it be better to get a ls6 intake first, or buy some headers, with an xpipe, electronic cut outs?

I too have the

12560688 part number. This IS a LS1 intake correct? I was told by seller it was, just making sure. In a way I am kinda happy it is. I have at least 25 ponies in the LS1 intake and TB.
