I decided not to get a K&N for mine after several bad reviews... see this
interesting article

Thanks Steve. I'll need to get home and measure the LS6 intake diameter to
see what's needed. What's the intake diameter on the filter? Is it meant to
sit on an intake assembly or fit on the end of a tube?

 

I'm planning on running a big intake tube (~3") over behind the passenger
headlight and do something there with the filter. I believe I can adapt the
SEC cold-air intake on that side to feed a sheet-metal delineated chamber,
in which the filter will sit. It should be something like the secondary
firewall, that is high enough to meet the hood. That's the plan, anyway. 


Later,
Mike R

Mike, if Eddie's does not work for you, I have one that fit my M103. It is 3
- 3.25" tall, and about 15" in diameter.

Eddie,

I need one for the LS6. If it has a large intake diameter, about 3", I'll
take it.

I have a K&N, and I think it's crap, I went back to paper filters once it
was time to oil up the K&N.  Did not improve anything except make the car
sound better.  Carl did a swap in test on a dyno and discovered the K&N
robbed his car of power, but both our cars have been tuned to different
levels.

 

BTW, if anyone wants it, $20 plus shipping.  Clean and oil it yourself.

 

Regards,

 

Eddie
