header Install question

Okay I have a question. I read somewhere that after installing a new exhuast and headers that the computer needs to be taught the new exhaust system. Is this true and if so, how is it done? I ask because I am thinking of putting headers and a new cat back system on a 92 Ranger 4.0 4x4 Supercab.

The computer learns your driving habbits by collecting information froms its sensors. It will then adjust its program. If you remove the battary for 30min or so then the computer will reset.

If this needs to be done to recognize a new exhaust it debatable, But it can't hert!

I agree. I've heard you have to diconnect the battery for about 20 to 30 minutes for the computer to recalibrate itself for your new exhaust...I think.
