Good day everyone!
I am new to Ducati and just bought a brand new 2024 Panigale Base V4. The first thing I did was install a Spark 3/4 system (bought from @stevem) because I wanted the undertail exhaust look and more aggressive sound. Despite my service manager saying that I didn't really need a tune, the bike runs poorly in low RPMs , exhaust smells really strong, and I got a check engine light.
I have been reading for many days on all the different Ducati forums and can't seem to make a decision. I spoke to my dealer and they said I should go with Upmap from Termignoni, but online everyone says its not the best option.
Can someone here help me understand the few questions I have?

Can someone here help me understand the few questions I have?
- Does tuning actually void my warranty in the USA? (My dealer says that Upmap would not but that other online tuners will")
- How much should I be paying for a tune and what is the best option if you're on a budget?
- What is the general consensus as the "best tune" for these bikes in terms of reliability and smoothness. Not looking for the biggest horsepower gains.
- Do tunes impact rider aids like TC, WC and ABS?
- Is a high flow air filter needed?
