i have heard and read different things on this subject. i have heard that after you do a performance mod like an exhuast you should reset the ecu so that it can relearn to gain the most power from that mod. is this true?

The ECU is pretty smart--it may adapt even without a reset. If you're concerned you're not getting all the power you think you should, resetting the ecu won't do any harm other than running hella rich and killing your mileage for a couple hundred miles. Disconnect the negative terminal, press the brake pedal for 30 seconds, and reconnect the terminal--your ECU is reset.
