Default Intake Manifold?

I have a 2000 Black WS6... Borla exhaust, Hooker Headers, Hooker off road Y-pipe, lid, G5X3 cam, new springs and retainers. But because its a 2000, it doesn't have the LS6 intake.... and i want it! i only put up 385 RWHP on the dyno... and i could've had 400 easy with the LS6 intake. Do y'all know anywhere i can get one?.... Or does someone have one for sale? Or is there a better Manifold i should get other than the LS6?? I heard some one talking about a Lingenfilter?....

Try the parts for sale forum here they sale them all the time. Ebay is another choice. You can buy a new one from M.T.I. and other aftermarket shops. Used they usualy sale for $300.00 or so. New they go for $450.00 to $500.00

Get the LS6 manifold. If you have lots of extra money then get the LSX. It's worth a few more ponys, but it's more than double the price too. Stay away from the aluminum Lingenfelter. It hasn't been shown to put down the numbers, it's heavier, and because it's aluminum it heatsoaks.

I'd go with a speed shop rather than ebay, but if you go the ebay route be very careful. I've read horror stories of folks getting sold LS1 intakes auctioned as LS6 intakes.

Oh really?! That is crazy.... Kinda scary actually.. getting ripped off like that. Anyways i might just go ahead and buy the LS6 intake new. Unless i find it somewhere else, and i know for a fact that i won't get ripped.

Find one on the board from a reputable member. I've had nothing but positive experiences buying from board members (so far, at least).

I looked at the slp but I'm leaning towards the 'Vette LS6 intake and deleting the EGR with the HPTuners. Cheaper and lighter.

I'm eventually gonna go with the LS6 intake also, and I too will be looking for the !EGR. How much trouble is it to get rid of the EGR stuff?

With a program like HPtuners, deleting it is simple.

Can't remember when it was they started putting the LS6 intake manifolds on from the factory, 2000-2001? Yours might already have the LS6 on it.
