Everything that I have read has said otherwise

Edit: is is possible it changed with the LFX?

Well that may need to be determined. But the Transmissions have been the same this whole time, so why would the driveshafts change? The 2012 2LS did change the rear-end to a 7.6", but if a 2LS driveshaft bolts up to an SS differential then surely the other trim levels would be the same. All I know is that my driveshaft worked. And a handful of other 6bangers claimed the same thing. Did the people who bought the back half of an SS driveshaft try to bolt up their stock driveshaft first?

I wouldnt advise getting the GM 1le separator because its just a hollow piece of plastic... but who knows if it works as advertised...

The elite separator might be better....however, it looks exactly like the crap-x (Rx) version...

Might Mouse has a good breather option fwiw.

The stats and benchmarks can show you what's better. No need to drop hundreds of dollars to see for yourself. AMD is great for a budget CPUs and GPUs, but if you want the best Nvidia is really the only option. I originally wanted an R9 290x but then I saw the video of the fan noise and realized that in order for AMD to compete with Nvidia they have to run their cards at 100% all the time. That's when I went with the 780 Ti. Why don't you OC GPUs? They're stupidly easy to do with the new ones. Just download Precision X and drag the sliders to your liking. Here's that video that I was talking about:

Nope... Still waiting for the lower part of the intake manifold to show up on the slow boat from China.

I'm talking with the parts guy right now on the phone, he says something is going on and there has been a part number change.

12659015 is the new part number for the lower intake manifold from what the parts guy is telling me. I'm also told they price has gone up, new list price of $494.

Gotta love a price hike. From the pictures I've seen I'm still confused about the throttle body location. Though I guess the intake tubes just manifold [what's the verb form of manifold? :imstoopid:]right in front of it?

The pictures and diagrams are pretty bad, but that's what I'm guessing also. Won't really know what it looks like until I get it.
