Question "Check Engine" when modifying Nitro?

Hi,
I have been told that the Dodge Nitro engine management chip will constantly throw a "Check Engine" condition if the stock exhaust is modified/replaced...something to do with catalytic convertor sensors :-(

I would like to improve the performance of my '08 Nitro with the addition of a banana-branch and flow-thru exhaust, but hesitate to outlay the $$$ without a viable workaround to the above concern. Is there perhaps a chip on the market that allows for performance tweaks to be happily made to the Nitro?

(I had seen threads on this forum regarding the Jet chips but don't see whether the piggby-back provides support via overriding programming for mods to the exhaust system.)

I am ultimately looking to improve the horsepower of my Nitro...it seems sluggish and I suspect a flow-thru exhaust could greatly improve the responsiveness of the vehicle.

Any help appreciated, thanks
Piet
