I was curious if you were able to get your factory right side heat shield back over the header tubes? We could not get mine to fit.

Got the long arm ones on order but now confused about them and the cats. Don't think there is a tune with the 11's yet, the aev is used for tires etc for the supercharger I think. Had to cut and rotate my 11 cat for the teraflex kit but love the suspension ;+}

The kit they sell specifically for Jk's with long arm lifts do not have cat's built into the long tubes. There are none. Check on that but I'm pretty sure I am right. I was told the set without the cat's built in are for offroad applications.
So here is the next problem. If you do not install them yourself you may not find an exhaust shop that will because they cannot legally install them. Some shops may install them but they will require you to sign a document that says your vehicle will be used for offraod purposes only.
Someone who has better information please speak up if I am wrong.
This is why I bought the set with cat's built in and had them modified. Want to stay as close to legal as I can.

You can call Ripp and verify this but I went through this whole conversation with them when I purchased mine.
