Craig Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Not sure where to put this, but on the night or Sept 30 / Oct 1 the catalytic converter was stolen off of my Jeep. There was one other lady in my apartment complex that had hers stolen as well. there may have been others, that have just not mentioned it to the rental office. Just be on the lookout. Not fun to try to go to work with the exhaust dragging the ground due to some ass hat with a sawzall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 theyve been catching people at polaris doing this a lot. these assholes are pretty much getting under any SUV to snatch them. Toyota 4Runners are their favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 How would you NOT hear a SawzAll in the middle of the night? KillJoy They wrap a towel around the cat and one guy pulls down on it while the other makes the cut. It pulls the exhaust down against the rubber isolators in the hangers, and stops the cat itself from resonating. It's not as loud as you'd think anyway, especially if there are cars on both sides.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 You would be suprised how quickly a thief can get a cat cut out of a car and walk away with it. I watched a video once that showed a guy who was able to get out of his car in a busy parking lot, crawl under a suv, hack the cat off, get back in his car within 45 seconds without being noticed.

Forrest Gump 9 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Look on the bright side, free flowing exhaust = more power. I bet Farkas will never have this problem. Ok, these scum will die a horrible death for their sin!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted October 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I have been talking myself out of modifying the jeep for years. I was really just wanting to keep this as a reliable daily. But yes, I will likely wind up buying a high flow cat and cat back to replace this, depending on what the ins. co. says. I called the jeep dealership and with how the pipe is laid out and with the two pre cats that part is a $1637 part, not including labor. I doubt the ins. will be willing to go oem though, and if not it would not be worth a claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go into way more detail then you'd ever care to hear, but they are not even comparable to OEM. It won't last as long, it won't work as well.

Captain_Panic1647545539 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Are the laws here different? I know they changed it in Indiana because of all the theft. Out there you have to have the vehicle registration or title, so they can document it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out there you have to have the vehicle registration or title, so they can document it. As far as i know you just have to give them your id and a plate number from wich it came from.. And you could only sell 1 per month or something like that. Then again I am sure there are some shady salvage places that will take them no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I am sure there are some shady salvage places that will take them no matter what We take 4-5 to the yard every couple of months when we replace them at the shop. No ID/plate required at research alloy. On the plus side Joe (the owner) knows me, but still. There is also a guy that comes around to the shop everyonce and awhile and will buy them off us.
