This is my 3rd purchase & made my customer happy!
Definitely recommended. No issue after 1 mo th of installation.
My mechanic charged 1.5 hrs to install this which is much cheaper than replacing the cat converter again. Under light throttle it rattles the exhaust but under more throttle it doesn't rattle. Overall I'm satisfied. My cat has been stolen previously so I will update if it gets stolen with the protector on - it seems much more secure now.
It has been 12 hours since I installed this and no one has stolen my catalytic converter yet so that take that as you will.I highly doubt this will stop a competent, determined thief, but I'm guessing it will stop casual thieves, and I also suspect that a protective plate costing twice this much wouldn't stop a competent, determined thief either, so I went with this one.Main thing you should be aware of is that you need to use the self-tapping screws that are provided to drill out holes for the security screws, the 3/16" drill bit holes are too big for them. The rivets are not the best quality, either. You can install this yourself if you have all the tools, it's just not particularly fun.
I’ve had it on my car for a few months now. Car works fine and the car has yet to be stolen.
