This cat converter shield is designed to be an unobtrusive but very effective deterrent that can help prevent the high cost of replacing a stolen converter and repairing adjacent undercar components. Unlike many other anti-theft products designed for the Prius, ours requires no welding or special tools for installation. The precision-cut aluminum shield doesn’t sit below the body line of the vehicle like heavier and more cumbersome devices that increase the risk of snagging debris, rocks, and bumps in the road. Installing the shield is straightforward, using the included special service tool and corrosion-resistant security star hardware. Once the initial install is complete, the shield can be removed quickly with the special service tool.
