I didn't when I put on the AT Flows, but did when I put in the TB Spacer and CAI. No codes from just swapping out the axle backs.

I reset mine after the Pypes o/r H pipe. Felt a loss in low in power, so reset the computer, but still had to drive in several hundred miles before it felt "normal" again.

I read others felt a loss after installing SLP LM's, but everyone said the low end torque came back after driving it for a while.

I installed MagnaFlow catbacks without a reset and if anything I noticed an increase in performance not to mention sound.

I have never disconnected my battery for any mod (except when installing my Chase taillights), and I have not encountered any adverse effects at all... ever. And I never felt any power loss after installing any mod. Maybe I'm just lucky...

p.s. I will disconnect the battery for the header install this weekend, but only because I need to remove the starter. I could be in for a surprise if I leave the battery connected. hehe

As it turns out, you need to remove the battery and tray to allow room for the install... so there goes the adventure. haha
