Default LESS POWER?

Hey scion guru's My TC is a 2007 automatic. I added a K&N short ram intake and a Magnaflow cat back exhaust every thing else is stock. Ever since i did this to the car it seems to have lost power and my gas milage went to hell also. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thx

reset your ecu,

1.disconnect Negative terminal on your battery and leave it for about 15 min

2. reconnect Negative terminal on the battery

3. put key in ignition, start car, DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL AT ALL

4. leave car running for about 15 min

5. turn car off, take out the key, turn car back on and then back off.


your prolly gonna get flamed for askin that question, seeing as this forum is over run with 15 yr olds.

BlackonBlack305 thanks for your reply and highvoltage1 thanks also and sorry to bother you with my crap but sometimes is better to ask a question and get an answer rather than search for half an hour and try and find an answer.
