Yeah, that and I have just been curious because I know there is a LOT more Cobalt SS's than RLs and I know people's feeling already on the RL forum about them, just there are only as many RLs ever build as one year of the Cobalt SS model run...(around 5600 RLs ever made)

i was thinking about one possibly even a trunk mount setup so even with no ice its still well out of the engine bay with lots of space to cool, but that may require a bigger pump.

I just want a resivor that can hold about .9 gallons of coolent.
And that would do me. But I want to mount in in the right front fender well and move the washer bottle up where most Ice boxes are. I would not mind the washer fluid being heated.

I have an icebox. Anybody want it? I noticed some increases but it is a contained system so the coolant mix runs through copper tubing and doesn't mix with ice. All I did was fill the box with ice and let it cool the pipes as the coolant passed through it. I used a lot of ice with it and if I had to do over again I would not have mounted it under the hood. People definitely always ask me about it!!!!
