We do NOT guarantee our product against theft. Cat Shields are a deterrence device that is meant to discourage theft and/or make it more difficult for thieves to steal your converter. Given the right tools, technique or time, a thief can still take your converter. However, by having a shield, you are significantly increasing your protection against theft. Similar to a car or home alarm, you are making thieves second guess themselves and consider moving onto another target. Deterrence works and we have countless customer accounts and video evidence that converter theft stopped (for those with repeated theft) or thieves looked and moved on to other vehicles.
There is a 30 day return policy window for unused products. Please visit this link for more information.
*We do ask that customers carefully make their purchases and reduce the possibility of returns as much as possible. Help us reduce the carbon footprint of these shields as they are large and expensive to ship.
The Aluminum Prius V Cat Shield™ while similar in appearance with the Gen 3 shield, has several key differences ensure an accurate fit and to minimize any noise and vibration. The Prius V shield has a unique cut out and spacers to account for the differences in the shape and size of the converter.
No other product comes close to the level of design and detail in our shield. You just need one shield to protect all your converters.
Fully removable and galvanic corrosion resistant.
A report from the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) shows that second-generation models of the Toyota Prius are more than 40x more likely to be a target for catalytic converter theft than the average car.
Why the Prius? The Toyota Prius is a favorite target for converter theft due to the composition of its catalytic converter. Its hybrid engine requires a higher concentration of precious metals to meet its emissions standards, resulting in more palladium, platinum, rhodium, and more.
All of which adds up to more money for crooks who are able to resell these converters at a premium, making the Prius #1 on the most often stolen converters list.

You did not fulfill my order 14 days ago, I just received it yesterday. I was shocked at how light the package was it feels as if I’m going to put a piece of very thin material over my catalytic converter. I paid $152 for that and I’m not feeling that it has the quality it should. My mechanic will be putting it on on the 23rd. If he does not feel that it has any value, I will be sending it back for my money
I saw reviews of other catalytic converter covers saying that they rattled, but the MillerCat covers didn’t seem to get many of those complaints, so this is the one I ordered. We had it installed by the mechanic we go to, for $125, and so far, so good. I wouldn’t know it was there. 🙂
Meineke installed all three on our Toyota Prius’s. Toyota Dealer installs a rip-off. No noise or rattles. Ordering was simple. Thanks for making such a product available.
Toyota installed this for me a few days after I received it. I am very grateful to have this protection. The cost of replacing the cat converter was extremely high! Thank you.
Great product! Shipping was quick and effortless. Buy them before you have to pay $4k for a new CAT.
This arrived very quickly and installed fairly easily, even without the exact right tools. I was able to do it in a couple lazy hours, with the car on a lift. One of the holes in the shield wasn’t fully punched out when it arrived but I was able to fix that with a hammer. And the instructions included a few steps that must have been for a different model or revision. But all told it’s very straightforward to install and a great fit. Hope it is an effective deterrent!
Well, I finally had the shield professionally installed at my local garage. There hasn’t been a rash of cat thefts here in Denver and I park my car nightly in a locked garage, but I thought that it might be a good idea anyway to purchase one and have it installed. The package came very quickly after I ordered it complete with the shield, specifically for my 2013 Prius V, screws and fasteners, and instructions.
I had to wait almost two months for an appointment to have it professionally installed. One garage wanted $280 which I thought was excessive. I took it this morning to my appointment and left the car there around 8:15 am. The called me about 2:00 p.m. and told me the car is done. They wound up charging me about $125 which I thought was reasonable.
I can’t quite see it under the car but I trust their workmanship. One day, when the car is on the lift, I will have the opportunity to better see the installation of the unit. But I can say that it most likely fit perfectly as I had no complaints from the garage. The car seems to drive slightly quieter but maybe that is my imagination.
I’ve heard the horror stories about cat thefts. People go to start their cars and then the cars make a loud noise and the check engine light comes on. The owners then get shocked when they found out that it costs about $2,000 to replace the converter. They then turn it into a claim on their insurance policies which then the insurance company demands that they use, in this case, original Toyota parts. The kick is that due to the pandemic, these parts are on back order and who knows when they will arrive? Here in Colorado, one can’t use aftermarket converters unless they are something called “CARB compliant”, which raises the price to about that of the original Toyota part. So then the car has to sit there until the parts arrive. The insurance company then frequently offers to settle to close the claim, sometimes “totaling” out the vehicle. So what you have left is a perfectly good 2005-2010 Toyota Prius, for example, with just a single missing part. How could you replace the car for what they are willing to pay? So then comes a more expensive car with car payments, and that’s if you can find a replacement vehicle at somewhat of a reasonable price that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance and repairs! So, by comparison, the $285 looks cheap, for the purchase and installation of this product, if it encourages a potential thief to move on to an easier target!
So that is my review. I am very satisfied with this product and I think that it is worth the hassle of getting it installed.
I hope that it helps people see the need for the purchase and installation of this shield as a proactive measure against theft.
With the uptick in “Cat” thefts in my area, I’m very relieved that mine is protected with your Cat Shield. I just hope a very determined thief doesn’t destroy it to get to my Cat. I also used my printer to copy your alert label by 165%, and colored the shield part orange, and the rectangular outside edge yellow so the six labels I placed in front, side and rear windows are more visible. I couldn’t attach a picture of one to this review. Thanks for an excellent product. Bill
A breeze to order. Thank you for being honest and returning the money spent (unnecessarily — my fault) on screws that I thought were not included in the set. Much appreciated. I am very relieved my cat converter is now protected given the brazen thefts happening in the city.
