You'll need to go to home depot and get a 1/8 X 1/4 brass fitting that will go into the stock heat exchanger where there should be a solid bolt there.
I take it you have a redline from your sig, so you'll need a 90 degree piece and not just a straight up one.
plug the other end of your bleeder line into that one.
and to whoever asked about the aftermarket h/e, if you have something inbetween your radiator and your grill that would prob be an aftermarket one.

Yeah I know it did but GM are idiots and don't know that their redline and cobalt are different. Idk what to tell you you could drill a hole but if your temps are fine i'd say oh well. it is better to have it though.

Ok qwikredline, I've been trying to find the answer to this question for a while. I have JUST a CXR h/e. I also have the extra coolant res. like Stu. I have 2 nipples on the tank itself just capped. And there isn't a hose going from h/e to the tank. My temps seem to be ok. Ambient is around 75-80 and my cruising temps are 95-105. Do I need to have a bleeder line??

Because the CX has a filler cap on top it's easy to top up and with the option b I really don't think it is possible for air to enter the system. If pluggin the hole worked for you, I'll just do the same.

Ah yes. I actually used your how to when I did my install. Nice write up Because the CX has a filler cap on top it's easy to top up and with the option b I really don't think it is possible for air to enter the system. If pluggin the hole worked for you, I'll just do the same.

a pressurized water system does not boil.
the impurities in the water will cause "air bubbles" to form in the water but then again, you should only be using distilled water and dex-cool, no?

Speaking of running water, you guys suggest using distilled water only when temps won't get to freezing?
I assume you gotta run dexcool when it could hit freezing considering distilled water would freeze up?

That product has mixed emotions, some independent tests show 0 degree difference and others say marginal. Waist of money if you have no differnce in temp.
If you do it, 12oz
