A catalytic converter anti-theft system comprising:
- an exhaust flange bolt shield configured to be attached to one or more points near an exhaust flange via one or more corresponding security bolt fasteners, wherein the exhaust flange bolt shield includes one or more bolt covers configured to cover one or more exhaust flange bolts;
- and
- an exhaust pipe section cover configured to be attached to an exhaust pipe section adjacent a catalytic converter so as to cover at least a portion of the exhaust pipe section, wherein the exhaust pipe section cover is attached to the exhaust pipe section via one or more arcuate members and one or more corresponding security fasteners, wherein the exhaust pipe section cover includes a body portion having two apertures for fastening the exhaust pipe section cover to the exhaust pipe section, and a first angled member attached to a first side of the body portion and a second angled member attached to a second side of the body portion opposite the first side of the body portion.
A catalytic converter anti-theft system comprising:
- a single piece catalytic converter cover configured to cover an exhaust pipe section and one or more exhaust manifold bolts, wherein the single piece catalytic converter cover is attached to an exhaust system at one end of a catalytic converter,
- wherein the single piece catalytic converter cover is configured to be attached to an exhaust pipe section adjacent the catalytic converter so as to cover at least a portion of the exhaust pipe section, wherein the single piece catalytic converter cover is attached to the exhaust pipe section via one or more arcuate members and one or more corresponding breakaway security nuts, wherein the single piece catalytic converter cover includes a dove tail configuration at an end of the single piece catalytic converter cover opposite to an end of the single piece catalytic converter connected to a manifold.
