Need to tune again after FMIC install?

Hi, is it necessary to retune a car that has already been tuned after doing an FMIC & piping install? I'm guessing yes, but want to verify.

Thanks.

I would go with yes. Its pushing colder air. AKA more air because it is a denser charge.

Everything that you add i would suggest retuning. Just the afr and the timing. You dont have the IX so you dont need to worry about MIVEC. But you wouldnt adjust that with small things usually anyhow.

Do you tune it yourself??
