resetting ECU?

How important is it to disconnect the battery when doing a y-pipe install? Could I reset the ecu after the install? and for how long does the battery have to be disconnected?

~2 hours.....after the install I heard it is suggested you run the car "around the block" a few times then disconnect the battery for 2hrs and then it should be reset and adjust for the y-pipe....now thats what I heard, but most people say it takes at least 200 miles before it REALLY kicks in!

so there's a "breaking-in" period for y-pipes also?

yeah sort of....I guess! I'm pretty sure you'll notice at first, but probably after the 200mi it'll really "kick in"!
