On my latest LS3 swap I was very tempted to go with a sheet metal intake of some kind of like the one above. I talked to a couple of chassis dyno guys and both said go with stock LS3 intake. They said with the sheet metal intake you will lose low end torque and add very little up top. Nothing against 5.3 engines but they as much low end as they can muster. I would search for a LS6 intake.
I've found them on LS1tech and Corvette Forums.
