When changing out just the slip-on mufflers a new tune is usually not required.  When you change out the entire system and eliminate the cat, you absolutely should get the bike tuned.

Btw, I was always under the impression those fishtail exhausts were power killers. :nixweiss:   I always liked the look, but not the sound, so I never tried them.
