New powerflow and Idling speed

[Anonymous]

some of u know i recently got my new powerflow catback system which is great, however i noticed a small thing that is different from before. When i start the car obviously the car idles higher for a while till the engine warms up, but before, after that the car used to idle at 850+-50 rpm, as quoted int he book and as it should, but after the powerlow had been fitted, it idles about 600+-20 rpm, just above the line, sometimes going as low so that i nearly cuts out, it hasnt ever stalled yet, but just wondering if this is normal?
Also i havent reset the ecu yet after the powerflow was fitted, would u recommend this?
Cheers

yeah your car will need to relearn everything to work efficiently with your new exhaust. So yeah i recommend you reset the ECU. Dont forget the car burns more fuel then normal on the first few full fuel tank loads.
