Default Rippmods headers on 2011 rubicon - any issues???

Any one with RIPPMODS Headers on 2011 Rubicon???? Since the Diablo tuner is not available for 2011, are there any check engine issues after installing these headers???

I have a SC ordered from RIPP and I am hoping that the new programming will take care of the CEL. Worst case would be that the converter is actually bad but not sure how to tell. I have taken it to the jeep dealer and they couldn't give me any answers about the CEL. I was going to contact RIPP to see if they think it's a bad cat that's tripping the CEL and to see if others are having similar issues.

I'm set on getting the headers if there is no performance issue, I could deal with a check light on!

I have a scan gauge so I can at least clear the CEL to make sure there are no other issues that are tripping the CEL light

The cats we use in our headers are designed for turbo application - internally they are made with Stainless steel - Our JK exhaust don't get anywhere near as hot to burn one up - It defiantly tuning - as soon as we can scale the ECU its corrected.
