Default Do I need a new map after catectomy

Just removed cat from exhaust.much easier than anticipated.air chisel went thru it like butter.
Anywho I have a pc5 with an fm map based on my bike pre-catectomy.do I need to have a new map set up because of this or is it good as is?
(Pipe out getting welded so it's not on the bike yet.)
If I have to DL a new map will do it when I install the catless head.
May still go with new headpipe but can't decide btwn V&H power duals,s&s power tune,rinehart slimline or cobra power port.
Thanks all

Yes, you will need to re-tune the motor.

^R&D (they make good power), quality (lack of fitment issues, great chrome and quality metal) and customer service...
