If you're returning just a status code and a message, you can do something like:

return this.Ok("My Custom Text");

or

return this.Unauthorized("Invalid Pin");

This will change the responseText.

One way to solve this issue is to skip the validation of the header you add. This can be done with the TryAddWithoutValidation method.

var response = new HttpResponseMessage() 
{
    StatusCode = (HttpStatusCode) 431,
};

response.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation ("Status Code", "431 My custom text");

Just add ReasonPhrase in initializer : 

        var response = new HttpResponseMessage()
        {
            StatusCode = (HttpStatusCode)431,
            ReasonPhrase = "your text"
        };

It defines text of the message that send with the status code
