Should I reset my ecu now? I haven't had a chance to really open the throttle wide just yet, but it does seem as if the engine is delivering the power differently than before, just not sure quite how yet, I need to drive it more to figure it out
Yes, flowmaster better than glasspack. I haven't heard too much about them on 8s.
I know they are built well.
Are they Stainless Steel?

You mean that the ECU will automatically adjust itself to calibrate to the lack of back pressure? If so how long should it take to calibrate.

No, it isn't stainless. But the note range is perfect, The tips are slightly larger than stock. It's loud when you want it to be, but when you don't, you can have a normal conversation, windows down or up. And then you get the itch and it turns into an absolute animal again.

Read up on rotary back pressure. Namely, how there isn't any.
