MPX High Quality Catch Can has a gauge to measure oil in the can and a simple valve release at the bottom to empty the can.

any car could use a catch can.......... it will prevent the oil build up in the intake track/manifold. some are better the others but money is usually the deciding factor in most cases for people, its up to u OP.

the mpx unit already has a bracket that bolts up to the cobalt so no need to create a spot or drill holes not to mention it is a quality piece that rivals the greddys, perrins, cuscos, turbo xs.....someone mentioned weapon r those are almost a hundred bucks....fork out the cash for the mpx and support someone who supports your car

mine arrives thursday

How are you cheaping out? lol.. It's a can to collect oil blowby, not exactly rocket science. You can save half of the money buying something else and it's very easy to install..

i do like the boomba design though since its clear on the side you don't actually have to open up the can to check for any oil i always wondered why all catch cans weren't designed that way

Most have a clear tube running along the side so you can see the level easily.

just not a big fan of putting cheap **** on my car and yes i know its not rocket science....that and i have had to cut and fab so much **** in the last couple of weeks getting parts to fit my hhr, i'd just rather have a bracket that bolts right up (i say this and i will probably have to fab something to install mine...plus there are only a couple companies that actually make **** for our cars, i'd rather support them with an extra 50 bucks than buy someone else's product cause i like seeing new parts developed....that's just me

it may be similar but i hardly doubt it is EXACT what do you care what i spend my money on? maybe maybe i get so sick of rolling naked in piles of 100's that i figured i'd throw one away for a catch can

my comment was merely a sugguestion of getting the mpx piece...if you don't like what i said then don't read it....lighten up....get laid...and pull your ****** panties out of your asses
