Catalytic Conveter Security

[Justwine]

Would be really grand if GMC or anyone could make a security device for the Catalytic converter.  Ideally a skid plate that also extends to cover it and be aero dynamic with the from and rear skid plates.  Ford has already done this, how far off are we?

If you are worried about stolen cats you really need to move out of the hood and/or drive an electric.

I would go to a muffler shop they can make you up something,  make a set of protection bars out of re-bar welded together to block acces to the cats.

Etch VIN on cat converter or install cat clamp

Bag it, make it a low-rider,and put it on the ground when you park...can't steal the cats, if they can't get under it.

I'm thinking about opening my (home) garage on the weekends to etch VINs onto CCs.

 

BUT, at the same time, recycling places need to quit taking CCs that have been cut out.

You just pop out the biscuit and you get all the materials. It isn't hard to get around such a thing.

 

Also hard disagree. You have to cut out the cats on lots of vehicles to see the biscuit and see how full the cat is.

yeah I have cats stolen in my hood all the time.  on my lifted trucks or 3500-4500 gasser trucks , i stack a bunch of oak pallets undernieth the trucks, and screw them together with wood screws, then i can easily move them in and out fron under the trucks with a pallet jack or forklift.   just chain both sides of the pallets together so they cant drag em out
