Default TestPipe installed: Best next NA mod?

going the na route, i've installed a testpipe (70mm invidia) and running a K&N drop-in wo/airbox lid - what's the next best mod?

What the best order to install these mods?

Hondata header reflash
70mm single exit exhaust
header
cai

the best bang for the buck would be a nice 70 mm single, good HP gain and you loose quite a bit of weight.

after that dont even bother with a header or intake. just get a reflash or good tune.

Next best mod is free...put the airbox lid back on for a couple more ponies.

Hondata reflash would be worth it...but you should check to see if they offer the reflash for MY07 cars. Last I saw they were limited to just a few months of MY06 production. Something about a firmware change.

Gears give NA cars the best results for the money. A set of 4.44s took 0.5 seconds off my quarter times. The car just leaves the line easier with a little lower gear.

buy a 70mm to get rid of the tin can noise and put your airbox lid back on.

just like the other guys...I'd say gears although it's not on your list. I have some of the mods you listed that you wanted to get next, but gears will make the biggest difference and you wont regret it after you get it. I promise!
