LS6 Intake on C6
Has anyone tried the TPis 90MM LS6 intake on their C6? What were your results?

Did you notice this.....
"This is sold on an exchange basis only. Because of the cost of modification,we recommend using a better flowing LS6, or 2002 and later model year intake."
Just curious.

...as an LSX engine enthusiast for years now and as the owner of a 2000 Z28 I can ASSURE you that it did not come with an LS6 intake (though it has one now 
).All 1998-2000 LS1 F-bodies (and all 1997-2000 Corvettes) came with LS1 intakes but you are correct about the EGR hole/provision, that existed on the F-body versions but not the Corvettes.

I was a proud owner of a highly modded 99 T/A that met with an unfortunate encounter with a tree. (the tree won). Boy I miss that car.

I went out of my way to buy a 2001 Z28 just to get the LS6 intake. The change in 2000 was to add the better exhaust manifolds.

when I heard that the '01s were getting that intake (and the accompanying 5 extra hp rating), it almost made me want to sell my '00 and get one (which would've been a stupid move of course LOL)...now I have the LS6 intake anyway, no more EGR and a bit more than a mere 5 extra hp.
