05 6MT Pinging Question
I have the pinging in low RMP's that has plagued some people in the past.
I'm using 93 Octane.
Has anyone corrected this with an ECU reset?

Thanks for the pointers, Trey. I missed you seeing an improvement with this by using the catch-can.
I'd still like know if a reflash has helped anyone with this low RPM pinging, as I think I'm experiencing it as well.
I only recall this starting to happen after the MREV+, headers/cats install, accompanied by some slight sluggishness below 2500 RPM. I don't know that there is a local dyno and so I haven't been able to have it tuned... ...but experience tells me that what I'm feeling/hearing below 2500 RPM is a lot like running too rich. This has been my assumption. It may be due to a screwy A/F ratio after the install of these parts (which I most strongly suspect) but I'll keep this in mind as another possible remedy.

The catch can fix looks like a good one...
