Default Reset the ECU?

Alright.

Unhooking the Batt for 10+ Minutes will clear the ECU and reset it.

Is this a good procedure if you make changes to the vehicle, like adding a CAI, or making changes to the Exhaust?

if you gonna drive it for while don't bother too reset the ecu. the reasoning for reseting the ecu is so the car can relearn with the mod and it suposed too give you more power but if you drive it fo while the ecu will learn it over time.

or if you don't have 10 mins / don't want to wait 10 mins, simply unhook the NEGATIVE terminal, and press your brake pedal for 15 secs. this discharges any residual voltage in the ECU.
