Material: Premium Grade 5052 Aluminum | 12 Gauge
Our Prius V Cat Shield™ Version 2 has been redesigned and is now completely bolt-on. Our V2 comes with an exhaust resonator cover for thieves that may confuse the resonator for the catalytic converter.
For those who want to go the extra mile in theft protection, upgrade to our Miller CAT Custom Screw Kit, which comes with a proprietary custom screw and key. Read more about screw options here.
Notes: Shield may have some surface imperfections. Professional installation recommended. Package includes Cat Shield, tamper-proof hardware kit, Cat Shield Protected sticker, and detailed installation guide.
Our Fitment Guarantee: While we do our best to test and verify every model, it is impossible to know for sure. We guarantee that if your vehicle is listed on the fitment table and you purchased the right shield for your vehicle but the shield does not fit, we will issue a full refund including return shipping on the product. The vehicle must have the original converter and no modifications to the suspension. If you are unsure about your fitment, please send photos to support@millercat.com to verify fitment before purchase.

Will the shield interfere with maintenance such as engine oil and transmission fluid changes?
All Miller CAT Cat Shields will not interfere with your oil changes. Some vehicles will require the shield to be removed for transmission fluid changes. Check your maintenance schedule on how frequently to change your transmission fluid. Toyota's recommendation is 30-60k miles and 60-100k miles depending on your vehicle and driving habits.
Does this shield cause the converter to overheat?
No, our shields will not cause overheating or damage to your vehicle. In addition to shields, we manufacture catalytic converters, so we know how to protect them without damaging the converter or your vehicle. Read about this in more detail.
How long does it take to ship?
We know you can’t wait long to protect your converters when theft is so rampant. Here at Miller CAT, our shields are made to stock and ready to ship. Unlike many other companies that make shields to order, we fulfill orders in 1-2 business days and if possible, on the same day.

We do NOT guarantee our product against theft. Cat Shields are a deterrence device that are 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 converter 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 of derailed converter theft.
Pretty easy install once you get everything orientated the right way and can visualize how it’s gonna go together. An extra set of hands is useful but I managed it by my self with an assist from my 11 year old handing me things. Tip: If you live in a road salt area soaking the threads in penetrating oil a few times in days leading up to install could be helpful. I managed it without but had to fight some corrosion on the bolts removing them.
It was easy to install by following the instruction provided. The installation takes around 30 - 1 hour which is very convenient. The most important aspect is it protects the catalytic converter .
I figured this would be a good addition to my Prius, off-road lift kit and new skid plate had to help protect vital equipment under the vehicle, as well as make sure that that equipment does not go missing unintentionally
Maybe need to remove it making a lot noise
Hello, thanks for your review and comment. You should not hear any noise if the shield was properly installed and if you have the original converter from the manufacturer. Please see this link to troubleshoot any issues. https://catshield.com/pages/troubleshoot
We recommend you make sure that the clip on the recirculation hose is rotated away from the shield. Contact us at support@millercat.com for further assistance if needed!
Super easy to install, i didn't have to make holes in the car frame, i really appreciate this upgraded cat shield, you won't regret buying it.
