^Yes, JD, you need to reset the ECU. I've pretty much programmed myself to reset the brain after doing anything to the car, even waxing it...ok, that's a joke but cars are faster when their clean. Thats just plain science.
The TL has a neural-net processor - a 'learning computer'. Seriously, read the UR crank pulley threads and a lot of the guys reported the car really coming to life a few days after the install when the computer finally warmed up to the new equipment. It's a PITA when you have the Navi Hack because I have to re-install that each time. Oh, leave it off for a good 15 minutes or more. Jury's still out on csmeance's throttle blip ECU reset. Turn all the accessories off; turn car off; turn key to position II; hold gas pedal to floor for a minute; restart car and drive it the way you want it to recognize as your normal driving style.

Thankyou sir
I might re-boot the ECU today as I put in my V2 intake a few days ago. WOW, when I downshift into 2nd and rev her its friken crazy sounding, can't wait to get my RV6 J-Pipe/res 3rd cat delete on. I finally got my TL-S side markers on, I had to mod the connector. Next will be my TL-S tail lights, I was going to do that last thurs but having the A-Spec rear lip, I read its alot harder. Thanks again.

cool man, let us know. Be really objective with the way it responds after resetting the ECU. Most of the time we are so excited with the mods that we kinda convince ourselves something big has happened.
