Claims20
A catalytic converter anti-theft system comprising:
- an exhaust flange bolt shield configured to be attached to one or more points near the 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 the 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.
A catalytic converter anti-theft system comprising:
- a plurality of breakaway security bolts each configured to attach the catalytic converter to a manifold, wherein each breakaway security bolt includes:
- a breakaway head attached to a shank that shears at a given torque, a bolt stop, and a threaded portion.
A catalytic converter anti-theft system comprising:
- a plurality of breakaway security bolts each configured to attach the catalytic converter to a manifold, wherein each breakaway security bolt includes:
- a breakaway head attached to a shank that shears at a given torque, an upper spring stop, a bolt stop, and a threaded portion;
- and
- an exhaust pipe section cover 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 exhaust pipe section cover is attached to the exhaust pipe section via one or more arcuate members and one or more corresponding breakaway security nuts.
1 more element
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 the single piece 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.
