Nope.
You would have to pull it up and take a look at the bottom of it.

Unless you can find a GM part number on it somewhere.

The one on the right is the LS6 intake, it has the flat bottom. The one on the left is the LS1 intake, curved looking.

what!?!? you don't have to pull anything...just look for the number on the manifold ...which is on the drivers side...the number is 12573572

Stock LS1 intake= 12560688

12561184 & 12573572 are both good #s for an LS6 intake.

There was an LS6 intake made by SLP which had the provision for the EGR.

And it isnt hard to delete that f#$%in' thing either. Is you've got EGR on your car and want to do the LS6 intake, do yourself a favor and just take it off and electrical tape it off in the plastic sleeve. No sense in putting the damn thing back on.

I think it's also smart to get a tune after removing it to prevent detonation

You don't even need to tune though. My friend has a 99 SS that he swapped manifolds and deleted the EGr with and all he had to do was delete the code it was throwing for the SES light to come on.

I don't disagree with you, get rid of the EGR. But for states like California where emissions is a stickler, its a necessary evil. I was mainly pointing out that you can't simply assume that by having an EGR that its automatically an LS1 intake.

He was asking about his stock car, i didnt think that any of the ls6 intakes with EGR provisions were put on from the factory.

You are correct I believe. No car came equipped with the LS6 intake that had the EGR provision from the factory. I see what you were saying now, I just looked at your statement and thought you were stating it in general, my mistake.

We forgive you. Mostly.
