Default Help me decide whats next.... Reflash or Exhaust?

Well you can look at my sig and see what I've done to my car so far. The only real performance enhancing part on the car is an Injen CAI. I'm going to start saving some money now and either get the reflash or an exhaust? Eventually I should have both, but which one should come first?

I know that the reflash is optimally suited for a I/H/E, but it says it'll still enhance performance as long as you have one of the three. I also think the reflash would be more "fun" than the exhaust since you get into Vtec that much quicker. It also is more of a "sleeper" as visually you can't tell that I'd have a reflash and intake.


As for the exhaust, it is visually appealing and makes the car sound mean. As for brands, I haven't really done my research yet to determine what I'd want. Obviously, I'd search the forums and sound clips on youtube before making any decision.


So what do you guys recommend?

well man, its obviously your choice on what you want to do with your car

But I personally think that the reflash would be the best bang for your buck overall. Tho it may not give you the best gains with just an intake, it will totally help you once you do get H/E. And like you said, there will be kind of a "sleeper" aspect to it, which is always nice.

Not to mention, I've seen the reflash cost around $650+ w/shipping and everything, so it might just be better to get the more expensive thing out of the way.

And IMO, good brands for exhaust on our cars are Greddy, Skunk2, Comptech (if you can get it) and probably Apex-i... But there's a great thread on exhaust sound clips to give you an idea of what each one sounds like:

Good luck, man
