Just installed new short ram intake and catback exhaust, headers to come. Heard something about unhooking the neg. batt. terminal for 5 minutes so the ECU can "learn" the new parts and adjust accordingly. Good, bad, useless?

Not really necessarty in my experience, but if it makes you feel better, then it won't hurt anything.

doesnt do shit, resets short & long term fuel trim... which your car will learn anyway as you drive.
will probably fuck your idle a bit as your car has to relearn idle.

all i did was let it idle for maybe ten minutes. and everything was a.o.k

Good luck with your headers too! Just curious when the RSX made a V6.

V6? Dunno. I did the ECU reset and the car is alot more responsive, it was lagging a bit before. Thanks for the advice guys.

He is cracking on you for making the word "header" plural because we only use one header.
