Will the X14IED's make my bike throw a code?

I don't check my codes via some kind of a reader, but I have not gotten any check engine lights. I have the exact bike w/ the x14ied.

Nope, no light BUT it may set a hidden code that is described on Nitghtrider's website. No worries brother.

Mine did throw a code, no engine light though. Check out this site for how to check the engine codes. No problems at all so far and am loving them.

I've had the x14ied on for about a year. No codes, no problems. Works fine, lasts long time.

I don't know yet if they cause the ECM to throw any codes. I will probably hear about at my 1000 mile service if they do ;-).

I ordered the X14iEDs, along with a set of cheap Full Boar slip-ons, and a nice s&s Cycles teardrop cleaner. The exhaust and cleaner haven't arrived yet, and I am wishing that I would have held off awhile now.

The XiEDs made such a big difference in both the performance, AND the sound of my 2012 SuperLow. I think that for an 883 owner on a budget, the XiEDs would be a decent upgrade, without the rest of the "Stage 1" gear. All I know is that my otherwise stock bike is like twice as fun to ride now.

I am curious to see how much better it will be with the change in exhaust and intake.

If you are enjoying your ride twice as much with the x14ied, stop there and enjoy. Once you put on the other gear, you will be looking for a tune. At least this is my experience so far.
