ECU reset after headers/cat converter?

[axispower]

Apparently I need to reset my ECU after installing a new set of headers and high flow cat converter? Can anyone confirm this?

If true, why is this- what does it do?

[curtis265]

lets the ECU readjust based on how easily the air moves and 'forgets' how it did before

I see ok thanks for that. Reps.

Reset for immediate oomph.

Does anyone know where I can find a video or something on how to do this? My youtube at work is limited.

[EKVTIR-T]

the ECU is a neural net processor,a learning computer

[stndrd]

Remove the negative terminal for approx 10mins then refit

lol peetah does that procedure actually work?

[peetah]

Didn't actually try lol. Been meaning to test it but always forget...

Don't see why not.

[axispower]

I will try it when I get these installed.

[Fredoops]

I tried it years ago and all it didn't seems to have worked....

[axispower]

I see.

Quick question: anyone (who has installed headers and/or cat converter) have any issues with CEL? How did you fix it?

[Fredoops]

I never had any cel issues with my highflow cat.

If you do you can buy a defouler. Which is only 20 odd bucks
