Can my catalytic converters be stolen with this anti-theft / deterrent installed (cat plate)?
There is no perfect product that will protect 100% against catalytic converter theft. With the right set of tools, time, and determination a thief can remove any anti-theft protection device.
As of 6/22/2022 our cat plates have protected 100% of our customer’s vehicles. Not a single catalytic converter has been stolen from a tacotunes.com customer that has a cat plate installed in their Toyota.
One of our Toyota Tundra customers reported that the cat plate stopped an attempt to steal his catalytic converters at a hotel in Houston TX. The noise from the plate was so loud he and several hotel guests came outside. The thief was gone before anyone could identify him or her. Our goal is to deter the thief(ves) as much as possible. Thieves are aware time is not on their side. The cat plate increases their chances of getting caught. Although we can’t guarantee your catalytic convertor will not be stolen, we are confident our products will greatly reduce your chances of becoming a catalytic convertor theft victim.

What’s up guys! I saw a few people in the market for Catalytic converter cover plates and wanted to give some commentary on the ones I got from taco tunes. I saw several people on here reviewing some, and some of the brands I was seeing just didn’t stand out. I ultimately hit up tacotunes.com and got two of their Aluminum Cat Plates. One for mine and one for my dads 2022 Army green tundra. I just got them a few days ago and they literally took like 10 mins each to install. Just watched the YouTube video for it. I did some browsing around and chose these because: they’re aluminum so they won’t corrode as easily, they can dissipate the heat a lot faster than the steel, they look cool AF, and they’re light weight which makes them stupid easy to install. Besides I love supporting local businesses. Came with all the security hardware and required zero modifications. I figured it’s best to spend the $350 for the added deterrent than risk getting my Cats chopped out. (I didn’t realize how easy they were to get to. Especially if you have a lift/ level kit). Apparently the waitlist for new cats is like 300+ people long at the moment which is insane 😬. Anyways, If you’re in the market I HIGHLY recommend these… if you’re not in the market, I still suggest getting them lol. Better safe than sorry.

I was part of the first wave of preorders when they became available online and Josh Ruiz updated me throughout the status of my order. His customer service is top notch and I’m now considering my audio upgrades from them. Especially knowing that their customer service goes beyond the product itself.

Did the job, showed up quickly. I am hopeful this will keep my catalytic convertors safe. My neighbors Prius was hit. I hate thieves. Install was pretty easy, but I had to jack up my truck. I am not skinny like their installation video girl.

Awesome cat plate and even better customer service. Answered all my questions and had some of the earliest videos out for the ‘22 Tundra to help with installs.

My cat plate showed up in literally 24 hours from order. I watched the video once and it went right on. I like the way it looks and it is very sturdy. Patiently waiting for JBL system upgrade as well. Great job!

My son and I were able to put it on in under 15 minutes. The security bolts are a great addition. I feel much better now that my cats are behind the TacoTunes plate.

When I realized how easy it was to get to the catalytic converters on this truck I started looking to see what is available immediately. This one stood out for its design and the fact that it came with proper security hardware instead of shaved or grinded bolts like some other ones I saw. Price was right and the install video made this maybe a 10 minute job. Great product and I have recommended it to other 2022 Tundra owners as well.

5 Stars: 1) Available (hard to find a cover in stock for this newer model truck). 2) Fast delivery. 3) Simple install (15 mins). 4) Perfect fit (no adjustments needed). 5) A fraction of the price versus a dealer install. Great job Taco Tunes!

I was in the market for a shield for for my 22 Tundra for piece of mind, and The Tacotunes version was on the top of the list. When I was ready to buy, I happened to check the site, and they had it in stock, ready to ship, and the price dropped back to down to what I originally saw it for so I jumped on it. The shield showed up in 2 days and installation took less than 10 minutes with a 2nd hand of help. Definitely looks great under the truck and serves its purpose. If it deters just 1 bad guy looking for cats to steal, it would have paid for itself 4-5 fold..

This is a great asset to my 2022 Tundra. When I realized how important it is to have this plate, I couldn’t wait for it to arrive. It took about a week but it was well worth it. I feel so much better knowing my cats are protected from a possible cat thief. It was a very easy install. It literally took about 10 mins. I know nothing is 100% theft proof but this plate will definitely make a cat thief move on to the next vehicle. Thanks to the whole Tacotunes crew, especially Josh Ruiz. He did a excellent job at helping me get my plate. Paying 350.00 for something that can save you 3-9k is well worth my money!

Got this for peace of mind. I didn’t install it myself, but a mechanic at my shop put it on and said it was simple. Felt sturdy and well-designed before install, and has a nice, flush look installed. I can sleep a little easier knowing my catalytic converters have some protection. Shipping to California was quick. I actually had the plate before I got the truck, so I was ready. Thank you!

Bought my unit last fall (2022) for a long cross-country road trip and north-country hunting excursion. I requested that Taco Tunes send it to a mechanic friend’s shop up in the far North Country and Taco Tunes delivered it there sooner than expected. Installation was simple and the unit not only served as catalytic converter protection, but it held up to the back-country conditions that were a daily part of the hunting trip. Highly recommend.

This fit perfect, looks great , super easy to install. Well thought out design – biggest difference from others was access to the transmission drain plug without removal of shield.

I ordered a cat shield for my 2023 Tundra, as Central Texas has had an uptick in catalytic converter thefts. I contacted them to ensure it was in stock and would arrive prior to my business trip. Whoever I spoke with answered the chat on a holiday (Tuesday – July 4th) and promised that the shield would be shipped the next day. They kept their promise, and, on Thursday morning, UPS dropped it off at my front door.
The aluminum cat shield screams quality. They made it in-house, and they included security bolts and a link to the installation video. They must’ve spent some serious time designing the product and making the video; it definitely shows.
