    So I just finished installing my megan catback and downpipe and I need to reflash my stock ecu. If anyone does this please let me know. Also this is for an 06 wrx.

    Side note

    How exactly does it work when you "reflash"? Curious.

    Not sure what you're asking. Are you wondering what the process is for reflashing the ECU, or are you wondering what exactly a tuner changes when "tuning?"

    The flash memory in the ecu gets overwritten with new information.
