A couple people have it. I've driven a car with it.

All you will find are subjective reviews though.

I don't think anyone wants to be the test dummy. I plan on doing it in the near future but I am still unsure at this point. I want to hear from someone else first. I called Hondata a while back asking questions they couldn't answer about there product all they could say was read whats on the web site. Very unimpressed with there service. If you can't talk to a perspective buyer of your product and answer questions, it's hard to shell out the dough for that product.

Thats exactly how they treated me when I called.Very impolite,non imformative ,condesending and down right cockey. Guess they think their S#!t doesn't stink,never been treated like that by a company inquiring as a an interested customer. When I had my C6 I got it tuned by Ron Zimmer who has tuned for Lingenfelter and he was cordial and answered all my questions,thats how you do buisness.I have no plans to buy their product until I hear it actually makes a difference .I can't even find one decent review on it,which speaks volumes and says to me "don't waste your money".

Who did you guys talk to at Hondata?

As for the reflash, it feels like it provides more midrange driven back to back with my stock 06. It doesn't feel any better at the low end or high end, just smother in the middle. There is no vtec "kick" at all. This was the stock reflash, I haven't driven the header (toda) program yet.

So will you get it ? Do you think its worth $700 (re-flash + overnight shipping)?

I would assume a major reason is all the MY06's are brand new and under warranty.

Well I'd really like to drive the header program before answering that. I don't plan on leaving the intake/header/cat/etc stock so I'm not sure either program would be of benefit to me.. but the header based program would most likely be beneficial once I start to mod the car.

First I need to find a place to live. car < roof over head
