Default Performing my first mod today

I bought my 06 X4 back in February, only "mod" I did was put on 285/55/20 BFG All Terrain T/A KO's on. Today Im putting on a K&N FIPK, no real reason to put it on besides my paper filter is dirty dirty.

Only have 1 question, do I need to tune my truck? Probably not since there is no air sensor between the filter and TB right?

SCT, Edge, Diablow, Sniper etc.

The reason I ask is because I know more about the mustang aftermarket than the F series aftermarket. Seeing as how the 05+ mustangs almost need a tune after a CAI install, I was just wondering if its the same with the 5.4L.

There is a mass air flow sensor. Are you just installing a new filter? And know you don't need a tuner.

No I installed a whole intake. I never really checked this truck out before so I was used to the MAF being on the actually tube, not a slot style on the intake.

I like it so far, a little whistle under throttle. I might get a TB spacer so it whistles like my buddies 08.
