I'm currently looking for an aftermarket catalytic converter for my Prius; mine was stolen as well. If any of you all are knowledgeable about cars and can point me in the direction of one that would be cheap but get the job done, I'd greatly appreciate it.

did they cut off one or both of the cats? if you are in the front range, boulder muffler is a great shop with reasonable prices

Imagine the chaos once the marmots figure this out.

^^^ This is more exciting than Breaking Bad "Salud" episode. Do you have YouTube pointer for good chile verde recipe?

Geez. I'd rather deal with the porcupines...

Not sure if it would work for a Highlander (or at a trailhead...), but I've found a welded on skid plate to be a fairly effective deterrent.

this is, until your converter goes bad and you have to change it....

Lol, just use torx bits. I bet most thieves don’t know the difference between #1 and #3 Phillips head. T40 torqued > 100lbs requires the right tools imo

so let me get this right. you are advising to have a custom skid plate manufactured, drill and tap your frame, install torx bits and torque them to 100 ft lbs??

It beats MIG welding around a fuel tank. I’ve had master techs light my own vehicles on fire because they didn’t know what the f**k they were doing. I blame the legal weed in Colorado
