Default Re-Tune after Flip Tie Mod?

I have a Stock 99 coupe daily driver.

I have read and understand that you'd need to re tune if you remove the screen inside the MAF, but I have not seen much feedback on if you need to re-tune after doing the flip tie mod. ???

Also if you do the flip tie, is it smarter to use the K&N opposed to a paper because of the possibility of getting wet or damp while driving in the rain? I know there isnt much difference between flow, but I have read the K&N does allow more dirt than a paper filter.

Thanks for the reply lucky, I was hoping a re-tune wasnt needed.

Anybody out there running a paper filter with the flip tie mod on a daily driver that may see occasional rain?

I would not run a paper filter with that mod.
