Need Air Filter recos

I'm planning to swap out the stock exhaust on my '19 Triumph Scrambler 1200 for a pair of dual conical mufflers. The catch is that I want ones without the catalytic converter built in, to open up the flow and get a bit more bark from the pipes but, with that change, I know I'll need to rethink my air filter setup to keep things balanced and avoid fueling issues. I mostly ride on the street but love taking it off road occasionally, so I'm looking for something that works well in both environments.

What kinds or brands of air filter should I go with, appreciate the help in advance
 
Check out DNA or K&N filters! Both are high-flow, reusable filters that fit perfectly in the stock airbox. You'll get plenty of airflow for both street and light off-road use. Just make sure to get the one for your specific model year. While some say the ECU can learn the changes, that's really only for minor mods. With the cat gone and a new filter, you'll definitely want to get a proper ECU tune or a tuning device like a Power Commander. It'll make sure you're not running too lean, and you'll get a much smoother throttle response and better performance all around. Either filter will be a solid choice!
 
@simon.scrambler8 I'm thinking about getting a new air filter on my 2021 Ducati Scrambler Icon. If you've used DNA or K&N, did the gas use or throttle feel change over time? Also, if I add a Power Commander, do I need to get it tuned on a dyno, or can I use one of the ready-made maps for small changes like this? I want the bike to run well without making things too hard.
