Did I get fooled?!?!?!
Just bought a "brand new in box" LS6 intake from fleabay 
...... I know. Well I got it today and everything looks a okay 
with the exception of the part#. It reads 12573572, ive tried looking for this part# and no luck
Is this a fake intake or just a different number? Thanks for the help.

Tip: The "part number" cast into the intake is not necessarily the "actual" part number of the piece itself. On GM parts, it usually is, but not always. The number cast in/on a GM part is sometimes an "engineering" number or sometimes referred to as a "casting" number and therefore will not showup up on the parts lists for ordering the item itself.
This has been the case with GM for a very long time.

As for the Foam bottom, I would get that before installing. It keeps crud from getting under there as well as protects the knock sensor from rusting from water (if by chance the engine gets sprayed).
