Z-Tube install and ECU reset results + ??
Did this mod in the garage this morning (another day of rain in boston)... Took all of 15 mins. I also reset the ECU - took two tries, but pretty quick. Thanks to all who posted fantastic DIY info.
Here are the questions:
* Will the ECU reset in combination w/ the Z-Tube improve or hurt fuel economy?
* I noticed that the engine was idling at 2-300 RPM and dead silent. This is FAR better than my previous stock setup - have you experienced the same results?
The thing really sounds nice when opened up now - amplifies the growling sound I loved to begin with!
Thanks guys!

I would really like to know how the Z-tube actually affects the cars power. I'm not sure that it nets positive results.
Can anyone w/ experience comment on this?

Sorry guys - I didn't do a forum search before posting this. So let's not start up another z-tube nightmare discussion.
Everything is running awsome... z-tube sounds good, and yes, the car feels crisper 10 days after the install then right after. Mileage is right where it was, horrible
Cheers!
