No need to reflash or reset when you add header unless your flashing a new or updated tune that takes advantage of the header.

Ecu continuously learns within its limits, even the stock tune will adjust for header but cannot take the maxium advantage of the header.

A tune specific for aftermarket headers will usually run extra fuel ignition timing and cam timing adjustments outside the range of the stock tune.

Headers with no tune might only pick up 5 hp with tune possibly 10.to 15 hp

Resetting ECU to magically gain power seems to be one of those urban myths in reality all you will achieve is resetting any DTC/CEL codes if they were present
