All that needs to be cut are the 4 cables wrapped around the conveter and it will fall right out when the pipe is cut. Four (4) cable cuts on the bottom of converter. Zip, Zip, Zip, Zip and it is gone.
It's more of a mangled mess than that. It has wraps around the CC connected to the frame at several points, but it also has a cable that runs from front to back under the straps of the heat shield and many of the connections are to that as well. And, as it is wrapping around the CC it also has some connections to the cable that runs the length. It will likely require cutting all 6-7 connection points. I suppose it could appear like a tricky puzzle where if you stare at it for 10-15 minutes and you follow every cable line and all the various connection points you might be able to save yourself from cutting 1 of the connections. But nobody would ever do that...they would simply try to start cutting everything they see hoping that it eventually comes loose. And while they are doing this, a 115db alarm is screaming for all to hear. I doubt a thief would want to stick around. I guess we'll see.
My contention: My catalytic converters are now LESS likely to get stolen than before.
