Default Do I need a Tuner ?

I just purchased a 2015 FLHTKL which has a set of Vance and Hines slipons, they appear to be using the stock headers but I cannot find anything that looks like them on the V&H site. The intake appears to be stock and I am considering adding a Vance & Hines V02 Air Intake-Drak. Do I need a tuner for all this to play well together or will the ECU compensate for these changes.

thanks johnv

Assume that it already has been tuned, if not you probably would know it.
