I had a minor fender bender and damaged my stock heat exchanger, so I figured this is a good time to replace it. I just purchased the code3 heat exchanger, but it did not come with any instructions. The body shop that I am having the repairs done at didn't like the idea of an aftermarket piece, but I told him their is no drilling or cutting involved, because they wouldn't do it if there was. But they still want to see instructions for the install. I found the thread created by splinter, but that was for the LET HE, which involves drilling. Does anyone have instructions or pictures of the code3 install?
Thanks

it should be nearly identical if it doesnt require drilling. it's obviously how it should be mounted if it fits with the stock setup

That's what I told the guy as well. He is just being a jerk. I told him if he can't figure out how to bolt up a new heat exchanger without instructions, I don't want him working on my car in the first place. I was able to get pictures from the website

basically when you take off the bumper...there 4 huge bolts just under the crash bar that helps keep it attached to the frame of the car. I think there 17mm or 14mm bolts.

The heat exchange bolts onto those bolts there like it should came like that from the factory. Its a perfect fit. Honestly, anyone that can unscrew bolts with a racket can do this...

Lol. I just did it. The hardest part was taking the bumper off.
