Default Need Tuning Advice

I've had my '06 S for a good while now and I'm looking into tuning options. I have a K&N FIPK and a Berk test pipe and will be getting either a catback or header soon. I really don't know of any local places I can go and get a dyno tune so I'm coming to you guys for help. I have never done any tuning before myself so I was thinking about going with the Hondata Toda Reflash. I really appreciate any advice because I do not know many of the options I might have.

The best choice for anyone with an '06+ is a Hondata FlashPro. If you have basic bolt-ons, then you should just get an eTune.

Thank you for the reply, I will definitely look into an ETune. Is the FlashPro difficult to use and are these tunes fairly accurate out of the box? I understand there will be retuning but I just have a horrible vision of my car getting all out of whack and not knowing how to fix it. Sorry if that is dumb but I don't quite have the same grasp on the computer side of things as I do with mechanical

The flashpro is probably the easiest of all the tuning solutions for this car.
The hondata stock basemap is equal to stock and there are 'canned tunes' ie Toda, Mugen that can be loaded.
You could potentially hurt the engine if you dont know what you're doing. Do some reading and take small steps.

If you buy the flashpro from evans he gives you a good deal on etune...

+1 for Jeff Evans and the flashpro. I wish I had an 06+ so I could use a flashpro, far superior than a standalone imo.
