I was looking to put a new set of Bassani Radial Sweepers on my 2017 CVO Pro Street Breakout and I am trying to educate myself on all of the tuners out there, but then my dealer said that since it already is a Screaming Eagle one setup, I wouldn't need a tuner unless I wanted to buy one to add it so I am not sure if I can just buy the exhaust and put it on myself without tuning it or doing anything further, or if I actually do need to tune it after installing the new exhaust. Does anyone have good knowledge on this that could provide more insight please?

If I understand correctly, your question is "Do I need a tuner after changing the exhaust? The answer, in general, is:
1. If you remove the catalytic converter (usually located in the header, but on some models it's in the mufflers)...then yes, it must be tuned. Aftermarket headers do not have catalytic converters.
2. If you keep the stock header (cat still in it)...then no, you don't have to tune it---however, it probably will run better if tuned by a good tuner (the person).
3. If you're going to get it tuned, find a good tuner-person, and use whichever type of tuner-module he prefers.

You could ring him to confirm, but as far as I know, Steve at Fulsac does not make a pipe to suit a Breakout and has little to do with Softails.
His specialty is Touring bikes and pipes to suit.
And to your original question, you swap pipes, generally a new tune would be needed because pipes have a significant effect on the tune.
