I would at least realtime check the tune after the exhaust install to see if the car would benefit from a retune enough to make it worth it.

I dont think you should "have to" but you wont pick up the full benefit of the exhaust until you do.

It would be kinda pointless to not get it tuned. You will be more likely to take advantage of your efforts if you get it tuned.
