The C5 from 2001 till 2004 used the LS6 intake unless it was changed.
LS1 Intake.


LS6 Intake.


Specifically, the 97-2000 LS1 intake is rounded on the bottom, and the 2001-04 LS1/LS6 intake is flat on the bottom.

Injectors are different. You can still run either though.

The shape of the bottom is different, and another way to tell is to look at the part #'s. You can see this from the top if the manifold is still on the engine.
