ECM recognizing my upgrades?

Hello all,
I am a first timer. I have a 2007 L2 HHR I have put a K&N cold air box and have installed a magna flow exhaust will my ECM recognize my upgrade? I really can't tell if it has!

Welcome to the site, I have a '07 factory K&N replacement and Magnaflow muffler, the ECM did not have and issues, I did disconnect the battery negative cable for a 1/2 hour or so, to let the computer reset, and relearn.

to the forum!

As Oldblue mentioned, disconnecting the Negative battery cable triggers the ECM's "Learn Down" mode which will allow it to adjust fuel trims and other variables accordingly.
