ESS Claims Headers Will Destroy N52 Engine

Reading up on the ESS supercharger for the N52 engine when I saw this message at the bottom of the page:

Quote:
Do NOT under any circumstance run headers on the N52 engine, this generates a massive O2 feedback timing issue and incorrect AFR control as a result. This can cause catastrophic failure when combined with boost! We will not support any issues whatsoever on a N52 equipped with aftermarket headers.
Are they saying its only an issue with their supercharger or universally you should never put headers on that engine? Since when do headers break your car?
