5-10 min :shock: their capacitors not Li-I batteries, just turn your headlights or brake lights on for 15-20 seconds with the battery disconnected that will drain any residual current in the system.
You're not going to make a lot of power with just one or two mods and if you leave the standard exhaust between the headers and the cat-back system you're robbing yourself of much of the performance potential you've already paid for. I personally wouldn't do anything to the ECU before I'd done the full exhaust, CAI and pod, a decent set of ignition leads, porting the head and a new pair of cams etc..... Then you will notice the difference and get better bang for buck.
