Welcome back everyone! Today we are going to install a catalytic converter protection shield on a Toyota Prius. This gave me a peace of mind as I'm hearing about all the thefts in my area. If someone really wanted my catalytic converter they can get it but I'm just adding a little more protection and deterrant. Hoping they will just move on.

I wish someone told me this was a common thing that happens with priuses and that I could've get a protection shield before getting mine stolen last night:/

@AutoSensation Год назад

I don't live in the best of neighborhoods so I thought of these as a deterrent. Already had one of my vehicles stolen.

@sumgi1537 Год назад

i doubt u would have done it tho. cuz i said the same thing but read about the prius being a big target and thought 'it wouldn't happen to me' so i didn't care UNTIL it did happen to me and after months and 4k$ i got a shield lol

Even with this guard they steal the cat.

U have a twin called Mateo in the series called "Cloud 9" 😜

@rockys999 Год назад

What size nuts did you use as spacers. I have seen a lot of reviews saying the shield rattles when driving and/or acclerating.

@AutoSensation Год назад

Sorry. I don't recall what size I got.

Ok. I installed it yesterday. Mine is a "cat defender" that i had sitting in my garage for two years. I think that they are out of business now. BUT it installs just as simple as the guys in the video show. Took about an hour including wiggling my way under and out from under the car. I used ramps instead of jacks/stands. The hardest part was setting a 1/4" pop rivet while laying on my back with my arms raised over my head. Fok that was a pain in the neck. I did not need spacers.

@maloosecat123 Год назад

What if you need to take the shield off? how do those rivets come off?

@AutoSensation Год назад

You would have to break them off

@counciousstream Год назад

It sure looked like you were using a floor jack to raise the vehicle. It also looked like you did not use jack stands. Safety first. Always use a block or jackstand in the event that the jack fails.

@AutoSensation Год назад

Yes. Jackstands were used on the sides. Left the hydraulic jack is there as backup failsafe. I didn't want to just use the jackstands.

@counciousstream Год назад

@AutoSensation and safety glasses. When working under a car there is all kinds of stuff that can fall into your eyes in addition to the metal removed by the drill. Thanks for a great video! You saved me $150 in installation expense.
