    LS6 are flat on the bottom, and have no provision for EGR.

    98-00' have the fortunate LS1 intakes. 01-02s are the unlucky ones they have the
    LS6 intakes.</sarcasm>

    how you tell between the two is that the ls1 has x bracing and the ls6 have rectangular bracing you would find this on bottom of manifold between the ports supporting them

    No. The 97-00 Vettes used an LS1 intake and they did not have EGR provisions. Be careful, as these early Corvette intakes are often sold as LS6 intakes to unsuspecting buyers. Again, as stated above, the bottom of the intake is the best visual clue when off the engine. When its on the engine, check the part number (molded on top of intake on drivers side, near #3 and #5 injectors)

    Nope, becuase SLP sold them with EGR. I run one.
