If your ls1 is from a vx onwards it already has a ls6 manifold. If its from a vt it will have the old ls1 manifold. It's a easy job just take injectors and rails off throttle body off take manifold bolts out remove manifold and replace with new one. Be sure to check all the gaskets.

What's the benefit of installing an LS6 inlet over a standard LS1 inlet???

Flows better, makes more power.

OK!! You've sold me at "Makes More Power"

Anyone got a LS6 inlet for sale?

Before you go and buy a LS6 manifold.... just check your part no# by looking at the middle of the manifold on the passenger side and look at the serial number.

LS1 prt #'s 12560688. & 12556333.

LS6 prt #'s 12573572, & 88894339
12561184 & 12561182

Does this mean i should bid

[acarmody]

my current intake part # 12560894 - Am i correct to assume it's still factory LS1 intake system?

Also i found this part number in the middle of the manifold only it was on the driver's side & not the passenger's side.

What kind of power gains in KW's would one expect from doing this mod/conversion?

[SirNemesis]

Around 10rwkw. Ideally you'll want to get the tune touched up to suit.

[Shen Long]

sounds better if i was to get a cam package & do the manifold at the same time & then go get a tune.....

Or you could not put the LS6 one on, and consider a Victor Jr and 4BBL....
