ECU Reset. . . how long to "normalize"

[coyfish]

Just reset my ECU after installing my catback and the car feels slow as balls. Probably has 20 or so miles on it. It didn't feel this slow after installing my TMIC so its kind of weird. Its not like you can "mess up" installing a catback. Leaks won't affect anything even though im positive there are none.

Most people have said it takes 75-100 miles. I can't say for sure, I think it might also have to do with how many driving cycles you put the ECU through. I have also read two differing opinions on the best way to have the ECU relearn things, some say drive it like you stole it, others to baby it. I will say that after I installed my catback I didn't really notice any loss of power upon starting it up. Maybe I'm just different.

Did you reset the ECU afterwards ?? IT says to in the instructions but I don't think you really have to.
