Default new exhaust and a bad MAF

I put on the TSP true dual setup a while back. I also have a lid and smooth bellow. well my problem is, it doesnt seem to be running right and today it died on me. also, the rpms will jump around every once and a while. I took it up to my local autozone and got the codes that I knew I would have. well I happened to find out that I threw a code for the MAF. I'm just wondering if I should buy a new one and then get the car tuned? any advice would really help. thanks

Also clean the MAF with some electrical parts cleaner. Sometimes oil gets on the MAF elements and skews it pretty bad.
