Do I have to disconnect the ECU of the car before installing the Intake? I don't want the "check engine" light to come on.

Thanks

Before or after is fine...all you need to do is disconnect the battery. Before might be good just so when you're done, the ECU is already reset (it takes about an hour for most ECUs). Oh, and make sure you hook up all the little sensors or you'll throw a code.
