Cat Clamp installation ππ
Pictures above are from a TOYOTA PRIUS. My mechanic and his partner along with my friend worked together to install my cat clamp. All 3 of them made sure that the cables and clamps that goes around the cat are secured and does not move.My mechanic even test drove it after installation and made sure it was very quiet.Wow it was amazing - ran smoothly and no noise as if nothing happened.The product is great but it took 1 hour 30 mins and 3 people to instal. It is really advisable to bring it to a mechanic so they can lift your vehicle up to do it correctly and comfortably. Follow the instructions and BE CREATIVE with it so it does not make noise.Thanks cat clamp. π

Be ready to spend more money
Bought because my rvs catalytic converter was cut off while in storage .. a bit tricky to put on as there seems to be several different ways to do so and instructions were quite vague.. even watched several videos .. says to pull tight as possible while installing wires.. which I did.. but close to impossible given what is inclosed in the box to do... so I do rattle going down the road a bit.. will need to put even more money into it to make it work with my situation.. yes it does work and feel like it is a definite deterrent.. but a bit difficult to install with the lack luster instructions and will have to invest more money to keep it from vibrating...

Peace of mind. But not much!
2022 update. This lasted well for the 7 years it was on. But only a matter of time when a lowlife dirtbag thief would attempt to steal it again. I heard some ones car had their cc stolen. I hoped it wasnt mine. I go to my car and start it up and it sounds like a dune buggy. This mutha @&$!s Got it again. So i thought. They cut my CC but did not leave with it. It was still secured by the clamp. The cc was damaged and many if the cables were cut. But it was still there. Thank God! So i dune buggied to my local muffler shop who was able to re-weld the damaged cc back to my car. They had to seal the cut marks and stated it should pass smog. We will see. So i slept in my car for the next few nights since i thought the thief would return to complete the theft. The cat clamp was unavailable so i purchased the Miller cat deterrent. Its basically a steal box that wraps around the cc. Thieves are creative and with enough time can get any cc. The shop that installed it said it looks pretty good and in order to get this cc they may damage it try to steal it. Needless to say i will be sleeping in my bed tonight. If you get you cc stolen. Know the thieves do not care. People are desperate so dont go beating yourself up why they did it. They dont care that have one car to take your kids to school. They dont care if you cant make it to your job. They dont care how many people are affected by their action. I just give it all to God and know He will handle them. Theres a circle in dantes inferno for these people.7year update. Cat still there.Please dont ask me if it will fit your car. Unless its a honda element then it will fit.4 year updateSo far so good. I still have the same cat since the first review. Looks close to as the same day it was installed. No major movement. No rust. That rattle i spoke of is non existent or i just got use to it. I have ran over debris which sometimes bangs the bottom really hard and it keeps on rollin. 4 to 5 stars cuz it does what it says and i havenβt had any situations on my element sc thanks you.This thing wasnt easy to put on. It also makes my car sound different. There is a light rattle when starting the vehicle. Its been on a month and at least i have a little piece of mind. But i do wish i didnt have to have it on.

Creates loud rattling/vibrating noises when installed.
After a bunch of catalytic converter thefts in my area, I decided to purchase this as a way to protect the cat on my Toyota Prius. Watched a few videos and read the guide on how to install this and it looked simple enough. Big mistake. If you don't have a lift and are attempting to do this with a jack, you are in for one hell of a work out. Every part of this install is extremely difficult from attaching the two clamps in front and behind the cat to routing the cables through the holes in the clamp which always tends to get closed out by the metal clasp inside them. I spent a good two hours twisting and contorting my body trying to get the cables routed and finally gave up and went to a shop.Paid $80 for about 30 minutes of work even with the car lifted 5 feet up in the air it was still a pain to route the cables. Another thing not mentioned is that there actually isn't anywhere to route the cables in front of the cat of the 3rd generation Toyota Prius.Drive the car after leaving the shop and immediately there is a loud vibrating sound whenever I hit the gas. The cables are obviously rubbing against the metal parts it was wrapped around in the car. I immediately take it back to the shop and we try to tighten and move cables around so they are not touching each other, no luck. I tell the shop I'll just drive it as is and hopefully it goes away. Two weeks later the rattling is still there and it's just something I'm going to put up with as it beats having my cat stolen.I contacted the seller regarding this issue and they immediately responded with a template answer (leading me to believe this is a common issue they encounter) telling me to make sure the cables and clamps are not too tight or not too loose and not touching each other. Sure, I once again crawl under my car a triple check everything. Still rattling. I contact the seller again and they suggest I go out and buy rubber insulator hose on my own dime and apply them to all the areas that metal is touching metal. I'm sorry but I already paid $200 for two metal clamps and one cable, at the very least they should provide some cheap rubber insulator hose if they are aware of the issues with this product.I will be keeping this on as stated because I already paid for the installation and don't want to deal with uninstalling this but I am not satisfied with the quality and customer service.
