Bought a Used 08 is it flashed?

Please excuse my ignorance and possibly obvious question i may ask, as i am new to the Honda tuning world. Had a tuned and modded mustang before so I am not completely retarded on the topics. But these Japaneses cars use completely different techniques.
So i just recently bought a used 2008, SI with mods already done. Injen CAI, Headers, and full 3" exhaust (no cats). The Ecu Cover has a Hondata sticker...But not sure if the flash is/has been done or not. I can still hear the VTEC Kick in at the stock 5800, but it feels like it has a lot more power prior to that. I also have a CEL codes from secondary o2 sensors. Is that going to hurt fuel mileage or cause issues?
I know a CEL due to O2 on a stock ECU would screw up your MPG but what about if it is re-flashed? Should I worry or Just buy some MIL eliminators? Thanks in advance for any help or advice!
