started the ls6 install!!!!

finally got off my lazy *** and put my ls6 intake on. was pretty easy. the hardest part was removing the fuel line from the rail and removing all the egr bullshit. had to use like 20 different combinations of extensions and swivels to get the egr pipe off of the exhaust manifold. gonna go for a cruise now to see how it feels. later!!!!!

i really dont see how you could even break it. it sits like a good 4-5 inches away from the intake. i bought a spare one just in case though.

I also agree that if you did the intake you can do the LTs and it'll be easier with all the EGR & Air **** removed.

I'm untuned as well...that'll change by this Friday

dude u gotta put them on, your car is begging you for them. just buy some cheap cats and gut the insides so if you get pulled over you won't get a fine for no cats. thats what a lot of people do and it seems to work
