Cat Stolen this morning

I can go look, but didn’t someone post (in another thread) that an certain aftermarket cat (presumably cheaper) has just been approved in California?

 

Not that I've seen or read anything about. This would be very important news.

Would change the massively increasing liability of owning a Prius everybody in CA has as of today. I'm thinking about selling mine as soon as I'm done with the resurrection/overlander project...a $3k theft in 1 minute that renders the car useless except for parts is just too much to deal with.

 

Specific peril comprehensive insurance, for cats? Or insurers are not interested?

 

its enough to make me want to JB weld razor blades all over the bottom of my car...

 

I remember when I visited Mexico City, The family that I stayed with had a 10 ft tall wall with broken bottles cemented on top.

 

Yes, see these posts:

CARB’s database of aftermarket catalytic converters has a copy of the order, which I’ve attached below, since it can’t be linked directly on CARB’s site.

The approved (“exempted”) applications are:

• Toyota Prius, model years 2004–2015

"It's Executive Order D-193-151 if you want to do a search for it. I called MagnaFlow and the bad news is they are still in production and don't expect them to be available until August. :/"

 

Pages loaded all funky yesterday, but this morning loaded just right! Here’s a screen shot of the CARB page and the Executive Order...looks legit...good work, people!

This is for my 2006 model: Executive order D-193-151:
