Default 2 Step/launch control with cats?

I was looking for 2 Step/launch control for my car but I see on lingenfelter website that it's recommend on cars with cats.

Is this because it can cause damage to cats or engine? Anybody running 2 step with cats here?

Thanks

I would say that'd be a HUGE big no no

here's my car, running rich that night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5LxRpXKxY

when your on the 2 step, it's dumping raw fuel into the exhaust, think about what happens when it hits your super hot cats....

The raw fuel pouring into the exhaust will kill the cats. I had a two step on my car with the dynomax header system(It had the removable cats that could be swapped out for straight pipes). My cousin was playing around in my car when the cats were on it and decided to engage the two step and BOOM. It exploded the cat on the passengers side and the chunks were flying out the tail pipes.
