LS6 Intake swap. Dumb question.

I have 99 before you ask. When inquiring on a used LS6 intake do I need EGR or Non EGR version?

Non-EGR. Also, make sure you get the new coolant cross tube and the block-offs to convert your coolant tube setup.

Apparently you haven't been introduced to jmX's excellent how-to web site. Lots of other stuff there as well.

I thought ’99 Vettes had the EGR. So wouldn’t this guy need a LS6 intake with the EGR provision?
I believe it was in 2000 that GM did away with the EGR.

F-bodies have EGR. My buddy's 99 coupe took a non-EGR Z06 intake.

You'll need the standard LS6 intake. All of the LS6 intakes are the same from the factory. We have them on special this month with the coolant pipes and plugs.

We now have all of it in stock!
