You should get it tuned, but you didn't say if it was tuned before and if you changed the intake as well. Either way, running without the baffle will probably void your warranty.

Short answer is a definite yes. Any major change in air flow (in or out) requires a remap. If you had the SEST as part of your Stage 1 package, you can do it yourself with a PC based laptop, the SEST software (free from HD), and a set of cables ($25 from Harley). The software is designed so you can use either a dyno or "closed course" road driving to provide the inputs needed for the tuner to make the changes. It's really pretty easy to do.
