Question What the heck is this ?
Under my hood by the 2.4 Dip-Stick is about a 1/4" tube poking upwards, Not connected to anything....

I can't figure what the purpose of this is ??

It's for various air cleaner mounts for various models. I found out that one of mine is what is used on my mom's Cobalt.

Thanks for the answer Solman98.

I noticed this the other day and was wondering the same.

Any chance of this helping us use air intakes meant for other models?

I saw that thing when I was looking to buy my HHR, and thought "what is missing there?"
I had the salesman pop the hood on two other HHRs to verify that something didn't belong there.

That's funny regarding the "floating nipple" thread, but I never would have thought to used "nipple" in the search...
