Default is a retune needed?

i have 2.5 inch ic pipes all the way from the turbo -tb. well i got a leak in 1 of the shitty pipings so i was looking around and found a nice kit that is 2 inches from turbo to ic, then 2.5 from ic -tb. my question is if i replace the piping, is a retune needed?
and also while im on the topic, is a retune needed if i add a thermal intake manifold gaket?
by the way its a 2000 gsr turbo with hondata s200b

thermal intake gasket is a waste of money. it does jackshit....


as for retune iw ould recommend it if you tuned it with the leak. if you tune the car without a leak i woldnt bother for a new one

And it beats having to scrape the oem paper gasket off everytime you remove the manifold. Plus it's reusable. My thermal im gasket saved me tons of headaches because I had to pull my manifold off 4 times turing my turbo installation. Got my off-brand thermal gasket from spoolin performance for around $35.

It wouldnt hurt... Any time you change anything that has to do with air flow it will change your mixture
