Cat Converter Anti-theft for 2021

[Severdog]

Any chance you still have the instructions for this thing?​

​

I ordered one last year for my PB and finally was getting around to installing, but instructions for the old version are no longer online.​

Why not contact Talons directly? They have been very responsive even though they are a small shop. (small for now) I just ordered one with the "mismatched finish" to save a couple of bucks and will be installing it shortly.

For a little over $100, another option for cat protection is an OEM cover which can be found in this thread.

I sent them an email three weeks ago.. no response.

I know they are on the forums, and was searching for a post by them when I found this thread. I did find an old video of the install of the original plate with powerboost adaptors, but its not very clear where all the washers and spacers are meant to go.

Since I already have the old Talon's plate, I will probably stick with it, but nice to know there is an affordable factory option available with the raptor plate

I sent them three emails and a DM and never got a response. I ordered a skid plate / catalytic converter shield with the reinforced ribs in early fall and it was a nightmare to install. It didn't come with instructions and the instructions on their website weren't useful for the unit I purchased. It doesn't even look like they sell that particular unit anymore. The shield is solid but like I said it was brutal to install. Personally I will look elsewhere next time. just my .02¢

They did finally get back to me, but I haven't had time to install it.

I'll add the info here, incase anyone is looking:

Hello,

Has anyone found an anti-theft for 2021 cat converter? Cat theft is on the rise, will be interested in protecting my property when it's delivered.

Thanks.

In California it is illegal for a parts depot or junk yard to buy a use catalytic converter without verifiy ownership by the seller. Easiest way to stop the trade in stolen converters. Maybe you can download the text for the law and forward it to your local state legislator.

its illegal here to...but it seems to not be a factor of concern for some yards.
