Default FAST intake on '06?

Has anyone installed a FAST intake on an '06?? My installer is having an issue with the fuel rail and I thought I would see if anyone had installed one on an '06 that could help out. I wish I could elaborate more on exactly what the problem is but I am pretty clueless about it. Thanks in advance.

I know that the FAST intakes don't bolt right into the C6s ('05 or '06) without some alterations/cutting of the firewall/cowl area, not sure if that's the issue he's having.

We had to cut the "tabs" off the fuel rail, and reweld them, to get a fit for the fuel rail covers to fit on mine... FAST does not have a LS2 specific intake out yet, thus the mods... p.s. I'm sure he knows you need different injector "O"rings...

I'm installing one today and tommorrow on a 98 that had the LS2 conversion. Only issues I've had are having new hoses made. Hopefully when we finsh tommorrow everything else will line up.

Thanks for your help. My installer reweld them today so all is well. I will hopefully get to check it out tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

Using C5 fuel rails in the future may aleviate having to reweld.
