Ok so my step dad told me that i shouldn't get any exhaust parts for my car. That it would mess with my computer, and wouldn't help with fuel economy at all. is this true? i was planning on getting some headers a high flow cat and a magna flow resonator and combine it all together with 2.25 piping. Do you guys thinks this is a bad idea?

ECUs are designed to self-tune. The appropriate thing to do is to disconnect your battery for a few minutes before you take the car for the first drive after installing new intake or exhaust mods. The ECU will then, over time, adjust its settings to reach optimum performance. Actually, it'll do it without resetting it, but that will take longer.
