This is a great way!


This is what I did/am doing....but a little different. Rather than dig (and get down to dirt with the possibility of getting stuck), I had a bunch of base rock laying around so I created a mound underneath the catalytic converter area. I need more to make it even harder to get under, but it's the same basic idea as yours.

Scatter chicken and other left over bones around the vehicle, and post signs on it reading "Please Don't Feed the Gators or Pythons".

Thanks. I can breathe easier already.

According to the EPA:

"Under federal law, catalytic converters may not be removed and replaced with "converter replacement pipes' by any person. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments even prohibit private individuals from installing "converter replacement pipes" on their own vehicles."

That being said . . . who's gonna check?

Your call.

Take it off yourself & go sell it like they are going to do...and replace it with a straight pipe...

If you park it in your own driveway or property, a basic electric fence charger attached to the chassis.
Has worked for me for years, even when I lived in Miami.
It also acts as an alarm when they touch it and scream. It doesn't really hurt anything, just a sudden shock when you are not expecting it.

Skid plate.

Search for the Cat Strap. It's what I used after I wasted three months battling with the insurance company, waiting for parts, waiting for the schedule to open up at a truck repair shop, and paying the $375 deductible.
I installed it myself in under 30 minutes.
