Toyota Prius catalytic converter protectors for sale in San Francisco CA

Have you heard of the criminals that have been stealing catalytic converters in the area? Indeed, criminals have turned to cutting people’s cars open and stealing the catalytic converters because of the valuable metals contained within them, including platinum. This has happened disproportionately to Toyota Prius models, and some speculate it could be due to their lighter weight, which makes them easier for thieves to lift up. If you are a Prius owner, you can protect yourself with Toyota Prius catalytic converter protectors for sale in California right here at San Francisco Toyota.

How efficient is the 2020 Prius?

Toyota Prius catalytic converter installation

Here at San Francisco Toyota, we are pleased to sell Cap City Muffler's Cat Security™ Plate for Prius models. These plates act as sort of a shield for the catalytic converter on your Prius, especially protecting the O2 sensor wire from getting cut and allowing the unit to be removed by criminals. These plates are also set up to ensure proper exhaust ventilation. They are resistant to corrosion and are made from aluminum to keep things lightweight, which is especially important on a Prius to maintain its remarkable fuel economy.

Why it is important to protect your catalytic converter

If you haven’t already had to experience the sucker punch to your bank account that is replacing a catalytic converter, consider yourself lucky! Any way you slice it, catalytic converters are expensive, which makes sense given that they have such an important task in converting the pollutant gases from the engine into something less toxic to be released outside. Sometimes these items can cost in the thousands of dollars, so waking up one day and heading to your Prius only to find that the catalytic converter has been stolen overnight will be a costly experience, much more so than the price of installing a protector. These catalytic converter protectors act as deterrents to would-be thieves.

Please contact us to learn more about protecting the catalytic converter on your Prius!
