Header, Intake, & Exhaust - installed!

got my MagnaFlow catback and K&N CAI installed in my 04 DX today. only took about 2 1/2 hrs. everything bolted up nice but had to remove the tower strut bar cause it wouldnt clear the CAI intake. Had to buy a new exh flange gasket (didn't come in exhaust kit) but everything else went ok. Sounds good, nice low growl, I have no idea if there is a power gain yet, but am taking a road trip soon with lots of hills and curves and I'll be able to tell then. thanks for all the advice I got on HCF.

dont forget to reset your ecu...

awesome. get some pics up!!:D

to reset the ecu all I have to do is disconnect the pos batt cable for a minute or two right?? and i'll get pics asap

Yeah i sorta need to know the answer on that one too for my car

think I found it on the ecu thread. to reset the ecu disconnect neg batt terminal for about 30 min then reconnect, start up and go....right??

its easier to simply remove the fuse... then you dont need to reset your head unit and clock..etc..

Which plug or fuse is it exactly that you have to disconnect? I need to do this for my civic soon so your help will be greatly appreciated.

A picture maybe, of the ecu on an 05 civic lx would be great so i know what fuse it is exactly that you need to pull out.

didnt have anything for civ that new.. take a few to download and find the right page..then ill post a pic up for you

does your underhood fuse box look like this?

sort of, yeah i guess

What is the purpose of reseting the ECU? after the intake installation...

lets your ECU recalibrate for the difference in air flow.. your ecu is a type of learning system from what ive heard.. it can change so much but to really fine tune you have to have a shop do it unless you know what your doing.. plus you need a programmable EMS or piggyback system
