I hate that there are catalyst thieves but love that I was able to make money installing catalyst shields.

Unfortunately, it’s the customer that pays the price either way.

Gezzz, if y’all have any Taco’s in the fleet, might want to check out the link I posted, $170.99 vs $396, big savings for a fleet…

But then again, probably bought in bulk for a lot less…

They do have Tacomas in our fleet, but not at my location. Next time I’m at one of the other shops, I’ll check out what they’re using

The cat clamps are a STOCK ITEM . . . that should tell you something. They don’t make something a stock item unless there’s very high usage
