if you think your stage 2 car runs hot come feel mine after a WOT run and there is no intake that comes with the stage 2 kit. also for cooling you can get the dual-pass from GM, cobra heat exchanger and meth injection.

no they do not, pretty much people are buying Ford Mustan Cobra H/E and customizing it to fit onto our car, now there is a second H/E that Cobalt-Addiction sells if you want to look into that, i think its like $360 or so plus shipping, check it out

cobra heat exchanger>CA heat exchanger because $80-90 is way cheaper than $380 and they do the same exact thing

Is it possible to buy a cobra heat exchanger off of LFP, like an aftermarket one and use the cobra mounting brackets that bwoody sells for our cars to mount it on a Cobalt SS/SC or do the mounting brackets only work with the stock cobra heat exchanger?

I'm confused on why your car is running hot or why you think that. Are your IAT2s up or is it the coolant? You just say it's hot but it really shouldn't be too much hotter then stock with stage 2.

anyway cooling mods
cobra heat exchanger (get this one it's cheap and effective)
dual pass intercooler mod
meth injection

ur not gonna find the cobra heat exchanger on any vendors website. either check the cobra forums or ebay thats the only place your gonna find them. You can buy the dual pass on crate engine depot and cobalt addiction. I dont know if they are on any other websites?

no the stage 3 comes with the dual pass but it is not emissions legal. You have to buy the dual pass seperate. It's longerthan a week wait, they just say that so you know your waiting, like i say i ordered mine may 2nd and i still havent got it lol. but im 7th on the list so hopefully ill get it soon.

If your coolant is runing hot it has nothing to do with the s/c i presume....I would check your thermostat it could be messed up...how hot is your temp gauge reading...I normally get about 181 degrees under normal driving.

If you want to get the best heat exchanger you can, you can order the Cobra dual pass from Lightning Force Performance and the mounting hardware from Bwoody.
