Is it worth it right now to get a Power Commander if I cannot afford new exhaust for a few months?

or should I just hold off till I can afford both at the same time??

My bike is a Gen 6

Any advice or assistance would be helpful

Thanks Much,

Bob..

 

The PC will help smooth the flat spot around 5k and also possibly help with your VTEC transition if you consider it to be rough/noticeable (this part is debatable - some say it does some say it doesnt).

In the end its personal preference. If I could afford the PC - I'd get one even prior to the exhaust yes.

 

+1 Spend your money on the suspension.

Rather, invest your $$ in an IRA and/or 401k

 

Power commander and set up suspension, worry about exhaust later, or gut the stock cans for some extra noise, much cheaper!! Suspension will definately be your biggest benefit for rideability and performance though, the stock ECU and map does just fine, and you get better fuel mileage!!

 

no problem at all
you likely won't notice a huge power gain, but the map should be a little smoother
