We had a muffler shop do a full rebar cage for our 2012. Cost about $450. Not as pretty as these plates but it would definitely take longer (and make more noise) to get through.

Be careful running into debris and trash on thw road. I ran over a rusted metal and thought the car sits high enough that id just on with no problem but the plate/shield made a huge loud noise but luckily the plate didnt get damaged

That's a resonator. The '23 does NOT have a Catalytic Converter. They look the same so thieves will probably confuse it for a catalyic converter and steal that anyway ... At least until they learn over time '23+ Prius' dont have catalytic converters

I’ve been in many garage and body shops that constantly have Prius with the plate still in place in the catalytic converter stolen. My ex-wife had 3 stolen. Two with plate in place. My had two stolen. Second one with plate in place. Caught them on video second time. So fast even with the plate

with the plate installed is just an illusion of sense of security? it''d be better to buy a welding kit from harbor frieght & weld it shut yourself using a case from an old pc..

good idea! Im sure aluminum plate isnt too expensive. You could start with a cardboard template.

@@Jortdf534 Resonators and cats look identical, I'm not sure which is which on many cars. Thieves just steal all the bulb shaped things in the exhaust. Sometimes they steal an empty can, the resonator.
