That looks like the drivers side rear corner of the intake. Where did you get the fitting? Thank you again

I think it is something like this...... (Maybe) THe collar compresses and pull really hard to remove.

I did buy this part just in case but GPI already did it for me. They do not charge all that much for the mods so why bother unless you enjoy the crafting.

Thank You, yeah I always do my own stuff. I am a self taught mechanic and body and paint. I tweak every performance car I have had to always just make it faster, quicker than it should.

Wierd. I wonder if there are small RF differences. I think mine is one of the original GEN6 RFs with the sound tube hole. I plugged that. I traded my ZL1 rf for it.

i also had no issues with the rf and stock tb on LT2 manifold.

I purchased my LT2 Intake from GPI. I clearanced the bottom, tapped the brake line fitting and ported it myself. I picked up 2 mph on my very first run at Atlanta Dragway over my ported Pray LT1 manifold. My Rotofab didn't fit like before but still sealed. My car started and idled normally at first start up.

Nice gain for sure, good going ButcherSS. BTW how easy is it to unhook the vacuum brake feed connection from the original intake? I had trouble a few years ago unhooking that line from my 2015 C7. Any tricks you can share would be appreciated.

I felt the same way you mentioned above in regards to previous car I had when I took off that line on my 2016. Then when I traded it in I had to fight with it when I replaced it.

This time I left it on the original manifold and ordered a new line for the LT2.

So you disconnected the brake vac line from the Booster?

ButcherSS · 10-30-2020, 04:50 PM

I followed my brake vacuum line out and unhooked it from that end located on the driver's side engine compartment. I left the brake vacuum line hooked to the rear of my intake, then pulled my intake off. It was a breeze to unhook the vacuum line from the rear of the manifold with the manifold removed from the car. I used the same fitting as pictured above and my vacuum line didn't fit as deep as the factory push lock.
