Engine air filter
I own a 2007 civic si fg2, going to be changing the engine air filter, I have a cheaper filter but wanted to go with a k&n filter, I heard I have to disconnect battery to reset ecu, is this true? Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to reset the ECU?

Why do you want to waste money on a k&n?

Re: Engine air filter
Nope, $10 paper filter, changed on time. Those power gains k&n claim are not worth the ink they're printed with.
