Default Airfilter/tuner neccessary with new exhaust?

Hello. Very new to Harley's. I plan on getting Vance hines big radius! Do I need to get an air filter and tuner/fuelpack? Will the pipes alone damage my engine? If so, what airfilter or tuner would be good with those pipes? I'd really appreciate anyone's input!! Thanks!!

There is an informative Sticky in the Tech EFI section you should read. Will your engine suffer damage? Uncertain, but it will thank you for being looked after with a suitable tuning correction!

any change to the engine well almost any change will require a remap or jet upgrade due to air flow changes but you dont need to change both most people will change out the a/c and pipes soon after buying a new bike though
