Race Header or Reflash?

[Polish Thug]

So I have a question that maybe some fellow EP3ers can help me with. So far the only modifications I have on my car are the following: Injen intake from a RSX type s, and a Magnaflow catback exhaust. So my question which would be more beneficial to get first, a race header or the hondata reflash? I plan on getting both eventually, but I only have the funds to get one right now. So which should I get

race header than reflash

I'd say raceheader cause your butt will feel the difference for awhile..
Then when you get around to where you forgot how the ep ran and you're not thrilled with the raceheader, get the reflash, and then that raceheader will sound and make alot more ponies in the 7K + rpm range.

personally i say save up and do them both at the same time...that way the car is running the way it should be, producing more power and tuned properly.

just save up a littttle bit more, grab the header, wait until you can afford the reflash..do em together.

get the race header then skip reflash and go for k-pro.

This is your best route imo.

If I recall correctly, Hondata does not reccomend that you run a raceheader with Reflash anyways. I believe the combination of the two tends to run lean.

Running a RH for a long period of time with an unmodified ECU will make it run lean. The reflash will help it some but in the long run you'd need kpro to make it safe.

will an o2 defouler help it not run as lean?

Well what the defouler will do is trick the ecu into thinking the catalytic converter is still in the system. You are just taking exhaust flow away from it so it sees that there is less flow going past that particular sensor thus still has the catalytic converter in there, when in reality it does not.
