LS6 Intake Manifolds vs. Headers

**Danny84** · 08-16-2007, 10:57 AM

Hello,

What do you think runs better Pacesetters Longtube Headers or a LS6 Intake Manifolds from SLP on my LS1 engine??

LS6 manifolds off of a Corvette will not fit in an F-body car. They are designed differently. you would see more gains, both HP and TQ by going to LT's...

hope this helps...

ok, but SLP have a special LS6 intake for F-Bodies.

You will gain more from headers than you would swapping the intake manifold.

my bad, i misread. i thought Ls6 exhaust manifold, since i saw the LT's first, i thought it was a question about exhaust...

you are correct, they do make Ls6 intakes for our cars. F-bodies 01-02 came with the Ls6 manifold...

you would still see more HP/TQ gains going to LT's versus swapping the Ls1 intake to an Ls6 intake...

again, my bad...

Go with the LT's. I think that is the best Bolt on mod for sure 20 + RWHP for $500-$1400 depending on what headers/Y-Pipe you buy. I couldn't believe how much my car was able to open up after my header install. I also have an LS6 intake I am about to install, but I don't expect more than say + 12 RWHP. If you decide to get the LS6 IM, you should do a P&P TB also. I have seen 20 RWHP on this combo and it only cost me $500 total for both. So all in all even producing the same amount of power for $500 I would do the Headers first IMO.

How did you get the LS6 IM so cheap? And how do I go about getting my TB P&P? Thanks

You can find used LS6 intakes all the time for $275-$350. I bought mine for $370 new

I got my TB P&P by Bo White who is really popular on one of the other ls1 forums. Total I paid $470 for both Well see how much of a difference it makes after I install them next week.

You can usually find good deals on a manifold on these forums or ebay....but since you're in CA you'll have to keep your EGR. Slp has a ls6 manifold that is already tapped for egr but it's like $400-$450...might be able to find a used slp version also.

As far as the TB, i've had mine done by Shaner....he does good work. http://s2performance.net/

yeah if you go on ls1tech.com there's a sponsor selling stainless steel longtube headers with a stainless Y pipe for $550 shipped. think the sale is over at the end of the month. he is a great guy to deal with, his SN is black2002ws6. here's a link to the post: http://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749888
