If you read the news, you know that countless Toyota Prius customers have been targeted for their vehicle’s catalytic converters. Replacing a stolen catalytic converter can easily run more than $3000, which is why we recommend installing Cat Security. This product gives your 2004-2015 Prius a theft-proof catalytic converter by installing a plate on the car to make theft difficult.
Do you know why your Toyota catalytic converter is being targeted? Prius catalytic converters contain precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium and removal is quick and easy. Thieves can crawl under your vehicle and remove it in as fast as three minutes.
This can be more than a hassle, especially if you don’t have comprehensive insurance. Until you get the part replaced, your car will be noisy and won’t pass smog inspections. The cost of a new catalytic converter is over $2100. Adding gaskets, hardware, and a 02 sensor raises the price to more than $2400. And that doesn’t include installation and taxes!
