Manufacturers laser etch the vin on the cats and a law that requires a copy of the title to sell the converters for scrap with matching vin. Any converters with no paperwork = $100k fine from the feds. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79712965 Guess how many converters are stolen then... Same as immigration. Want to fix it?

The engines are so good these days, cats are no longer needed. Shit, back in 1988 the GM quad 4 engine could pass emission testing without a cat, but the epa faggggots made them put them on anyway. |

Invited a buddy for her roommate and we set off to her apartment to drink and hangout. He didn’t end up sealing the deal with the roommate but the gal I was chasing wanted me to stay the night, being as I didn’t drive I asked if she could drop me off in the morning at my place before work. She said yes, I said by to my friend and that was that. Morning rolls around and we walk down to her 4Runner to leave, she starts it up and right away I knew her catalytic converter was jacked. She had to drive me across town with the baby just a screaming the whole way.

You will get a check engine code for downstream o2 sensor, but who gives a fuck.

Occam's Deplorable Razor User ID: 76359823 United States 02/02/2021 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Gone In 60 Seconds: Catalytic Converter Theft Erupts Across Country ....3rd World Country status [link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)] Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket Local news stations across the country report a dramatic increase in catalytic converter thefts. Catalytic converters, which are part of a car's exhaust system, are sought out by thieves because they contain precious metals and can be sold for scrap. With metal prices booming, thieves use cordless reciprocating saws to cut a car's catalytic converter in under 60 seconds. Thieves have been targeting commercial vehicles in industrial parking lots and even cars in residential neighborhoods. In the last few days, there are endless stories of catalytic converter thefts from across the country, from Louisville, Kentucky, to Rochester, New York, to Olmsted Falls, Ohio, to Sherman, Texas. Thieves are after platinum, palladium, and rhodium inside the converters. Thieves can easily strip down exhaust part and extract the precious metals, turning around and selling it to scrap yards for a handsome profit. Internet search trends for "catalytic converter thefts" erupted during the beginning of the pandemic when tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs. Simultaneously, trillions of dollars in stimulus via the central bank and federal government resulted in surging asset prices, including different types of metals, which made catalytic converter scrap prices jump. Thieves asked themselves, why steal copper wire when catalytic converters bring more money. Our delivery truck was cut late Sunday night. They took the Diesel Particulate Filter rather than the Cat. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.--Some guy from Baltimore.
