Question about exhaust and ECU

[hypurone]

understood - I am now fitting it all together - so I've learnt from you!!

Glad I could help

In fact last night I installed the DP ECU and the airbox (exhaust is off being ceramic coated) and will install pipes on Friday then ride her cross town for a trim.

Thanks mate!

Welcome

I've heard/read the only other process I have to do is remove the battery cables for 10 seconds to reset. I've read that I don't have to red key the ECU - there aren't any performance gains it just 'weds' the system together.

Well, the cables should have been disconnected before the ECU was swapped!    No need to "marry" it to the red key, no perf gains and allows the ECU to be sold/used elsewhere if needed.

I've never read that the battery cables should be disconnected before swapping ECU's!

however these things can be lost in translation from the Italian source I imagine!

No doubt. Always disconnect for anything that can have even the slightest amount of juice running thru it before messing with it. Better safe than sorry.
