I think I know what you are talking about...the alumiun tubing that runs under your LS1 intake Manifold is exachanged for two bypass tubes? If so, it is a GM part, so I would try gmpartsdirect.com

Check out the following link to SLP's website. Appears they sell everything you need for 399.99 plus shipping. This is the best price I have found for a new LS6 intake.

However, you can find this intake used for a great deal less and buy the collant lines separate. I see them going with low miles for $300.

I have an 03 with vararam and corsa exhaust--would this be the best intake to put on for the money ?

You know you can just cut a channel in the fins on the bottom of the LS6 intake and reuse your LS1 coolant pipe. It's not going to affect the performance of the intake, and it'll save you $40-$50.

Fred Bean Chevrolet has the items at good prices. I did the swap two weeks ago. Took three hours worth of work, taking my time. Print out LS1TECh forum instructions to make it simple.

Any dealer can provide the bypass coolant parts you need. They are pretty cheap. I also suggest that you pick up some manifold bolts. I had a few that really ddin't tighten down well and I had to go back at them a few days later after I picked up the parts. Also, I put an LS6 manifold on my 2000 a year and a half ago. Last week, a member reported that using an LS2 manifold from a GMC 6 liter truck actually produced better results. Do a search and recover the thread. You can get an LS2 manifold from a salvage yard for !100 or so according to that thread.

I wish I could define wether the KS6 manifold helped, but I did several things all together and did not get a separate dyno run, or even SOP run with just the manifold.
