Default flash pro?

From what I have understood Hondata Flashpro takes the place of having your ecu reflashed. So, my question is does Hondata Flashpro gives the same results as the Toda headers reflash?

Gives better result because you'll be getting a tune specific to your car.

Flashpro software has several preloaded tunes that you can use and modify, including the Toda Header tune, which I think may be the same as the reflash.

It doesn't really "take the place" of the reflash, since Hondata still does the reflashes at about 1/2 the price. If you are sure that your car would respond well to the Toda reflash, and you don't care about ever being able to put it back to stock (for warranty work, etc.), then it would be a great "budget" option.

If you have a test pipe on your car, then the Hondata reflash provides large gains. You could certainly increase those gains a bit with a custom tune, but the gain per dollar would go way down.

Not quite.... but kind of... it actually doesn't sound like you understand what the Hondata Flashpro is at all. (not to be rude).

The flashpro is like other tuning devices; except that it gives you the ability to directly flash the ecu's map(s) so there's no piggybacking.

The flashpro comes with a list of pre-calibrated 'reflashes' including but not limited to the toda header reflash. From my experience messing around with the pre-calibrated flashes.... they suck, then again none of them were tailored for a 3" exhaust or FiPK so *shrug*.

All in all, Buy the Flashpro, spend the 300-400$ (~2 hrs) to have a tuner do both your part-throttle and WOT tuning, and you're still coming in at less than the cost of an AEM unit alone (new anyways).
