make sure you seal everything with vaseline though, otherwise you will let some heat escape

KY jelly works best. Best lubricant on the market. Make sure you get the heat sensations one though. Its the only one thats HEAT resistant to 300*, which is what the cobalt engine temps run.

watch out for those muffler bearings, and those tail light converters.

but on a serious note, a h/e cools your IATs(Intake Air Temp.) cooler air = mo betta
