Default Welding a new tail pipe on my AU

Hi all, I can't find anything on this in any threads so here goes.

I want to weld a new tail pipe on my 2001 AUII Futura and was wondering if I should disconnect battery?
If so, what sort of problems will/could I come up against once I reconnect battery? Any problems???
Battery would only be disconnected for a very short time.

Thanks regards Rick.

youll need the code for your stereo if you disconnect.
apart from that, i cant think of anything else that would be affected.

Hi Blackers10,
I did a search in here and found how to do the ECU reset procedure for my AUII.
Thanks mate and thanks to the others for their input.
Rick.

No it's not necessary to do it everytime.

Hi again,
All went well with the tailpipe welding. Didn't have to reset ECU as battery only unhooked for very short time, just had to recode the radio/cd player.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers Rick
