Ahh I see. I cant remember what that is for. Probably to my headlight washers. There were two lines that ran along the bottom of the crash bar, I rerouted one and took the plastic brackets off that held them in place. Its been a while since I put the HE on so forgive me if I forgot.

I would get the LET becuase I'm 17 and I dont have an extra $70 to spend to have somoene drill an extra hole for you.
From reading the thread and looking at pics. Both are a bit different style but really that doesnt make a difference. code3 is a direct bolt on with no need for any extra work, and code 3 might be a bit bigger(which doesnt make any difference either?).
If you dont mind paying the extra $70 for a direct fitment then get it. Your gonna have to do work either way from removing the bumper, removing old one and installing new one. Both work fine. Both will make you happy and will satify your car.Thats my 0.2

I have a question on the heat exchangers overall becuase I'm going to purchase one either LET or code3. I was wondering if getting a bigger then stock HE affects performance in any way because I'm not sure how exactly the SC works I'm more turbo biased since theres two turbod vehicles currently in my household (evo and turbo z) for the past few years. A bigger intercooler will need more boost/bigger turbo since its bigger and can fit more air. What about the heat exchanger? Will I have to do a tune or up the boost or get a stronger water pump such as the ford lightning one or wil it all be fine if i just install the new bigger HE?
Thanks!

You don't need anything other than the FMHE to enjoy its benefits (well, other than MB antifreeze and distilled water). That said, it is a very good idea to replace/upgrade your IC pump at the same time, as it's known to be a weak point in the system - consequently, most people who upgrade also upgrade their pump to the Johnson CM30, as c32used mentioned.

It says $140 on the LET webpage:

Code 3 does not list the Johnson CM30 pump on his web page.
