With regular bolt-on's, you wouldn't need to reset your ECU at all.

As they say, chances are you're being heavy on the throttle now to hear the exhaust and intake. Have you actually checked your MPG since installing them compared to before?

You can't "reset" your ECU.
You can clear error codes via the screw on the side or an ODBII scan tool.
It doesn't "reset" anything, it only clears error codes.
