I am a Gen 2 Prius owner who had my own catalytic converter stolen from right in front of my house. It wasn't going to let it happen again, so I examined how they removed it and started manufacturing these custom flange bolts.
THIEVES EAISLY STEAL PRIUS CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BY SIMPLY UNBOLTING THE UPPER HEADER FLANGE AND CUTTING THE LOWER EXHAUST PIPE.
THESE CUSTOM MADE KEYED SECURITY BOLTS PREVENT THIEVES FROM EASILY REMOVING THE UPPER PORTION OF THE CAYALYTIC CONVERTER ASSEMBLY. SIMPLY REPLACE YOUR EXISTING EXHAUST FLANGE BOLTS WITH THESE MODIFIED UNITS AND USE YOUR EXISTING EXHAUST FLANGE BOLT SPRINGS.
YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF OR HAVE ANY MECHANIC DO IT FOR YOU. TOTAL TIME REQUIRED IS APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES.
THIEVES RELY ON BEING ABLE TO EASILY REMOVE THE TWO UPPER EXHAUST FLANGE BOLTS, WHICH TAKES APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES ONCE THE CAR IS RAISED. WITH THE FLANGE BOLTS STILL ATTACHED, IT'S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO GET A SAW UP BEHIND THE ENGINE AND CUT THE UPPER PORTION OF THE EXHAUST PIPE.
ALTHOUGH NO MODIFICATION WILL COMPLETELY REMOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF A THIEF STEALING YOUR CAT, THESE BOLTS WILL BE A MAJOR DETURRENT TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A QUICK REMOVAL. TIME IS THEIR ENEMY.
