A few minutes is all a thief needs to remove your catalytic converter (CAT) and sell it for hundreds of dollars. However, those few minutes will cost you at least $2,000 for a replacement converter, installation, O2 sensors, and this doesn’t include the time you have to take off to get the work done!
Prius catalytic converters are being stolen in record numbers that most dealers are backordered on parts for weeks. We’ve designed the most comprehensive and best fitting theft deterrence device on the market. With a Cat Shield, a would-be thief will see a 3-4 minute hack job turn into a time-consuming, attention-getting project that will deter them from stealing your converter.
- Our shields are made from high strength, lightweight aluminum to provide the best protection with minimal added weight.
- We use as many existing factory mounting points as possible to ensure a consistent, accurate, and secure fit.
- Our shield is the only removable shield in the market. This allows you to do work on your vehicle like change your O2 sensors without ruining your shield or vehicle.
- We use tamper resistant screws and rivet nuts to provide ultimate protection while being removable.
- Our louver vents provide the best ventilation and cooling for your vehicle while protecting your undercar from loose debris.
