last night somebody tried stealing my cat
don't worry not this cat my catalytic converter whilst I was sleeping me bed
as well what's cooking one froude a scenario that happened
it was early in the morning I was lying in my bed it was over hand about 4:30 it
was pretty much daylight and I could hear this kind of squeaking sound from
younger distance it was like a bit like a like a shopping wheel trolley
squeaking thought nothing of it because after all there is a supermarket just
down here I was kind of in that that is only fast being asleep
I've been awake aren't so in comments my eyes were just beginning to focus and I
could hear this chinking sound like a china underneath my vein I thought I saw
somebody underneath my vein jumped out at me bed
open me door got me knees and looked under me vein I'm right opposite me eye
contact with some little what not under my vein putting like this chain device
around my exhaust pipe I didn't quite figure it out at first I was he doing so
but someone got round to the other side of my vein remember me me jocks it's
pretty much daylight he's gone he's scarpered he's going to cross the
carpark jumped in a car and drove off let me show you what he left behind so
there's the supermarket and shopping trolleys everywhere so you can
understand my reasoning for thinking that it was a shopping trolley wheel
squeaking but it wasn't it was this little whatnot cutting a catalytic
converter off of that Jeep that Jake the Cali convert has gone
he must have made off of it but ever look what he left behind
underneath my vein I can't believe I actually make these things look at that
you can see how it works it's a chain with these wheels on it these wheels
look like the wheels you get on a glass car and you simply rock it to a fro and
it cuts through your exhaust I'm not gonna do it so I want to cut through me
exhaustively it's more catalytic converter so lucky so look at simple
networks this thing is lethal look at this I'm surprised these are
even allowed to be sold so right next thing to do is put something on this bad
boy to stop anyone from taking it off morphine
these things are lethal just look at that I mean you could read my cat off in
matter of seconds literally just you can see how they work so after searching in
it like you do or found this or found this on ebay it's called armed cat and
this is a serious bit of equipment I'm quite impressed
look what's in the box what this does it's a bit like a bicycle a bicycle look
you've got the shield in two parts there are two bits in there this bad boy the
hose a ranger cat basically and wraps around your chassis stops anyone
stealing your cat and it's not going to stop people cutting the cat off but
they're not going to be out to take your cat or wire that's for sure also comes
with some bolts and some other accessories
so it comes with these shear nuts well MZ as you do turn that up and this
part shears off leaving this cone on the bolt so nobody can undo it all right
find a waiver again why does it always rain when I want to work outside so
let's get under the van get this bad boy fitted to my Catholic and we're so no
favorite little toe rag can steal my Catholic let's get it out the bag so now
I'll take me out the bag we can see how it goes together it simply slots
together like this using those special nuts that snap off once you're done
that's right and in this stainless steel cable we didn't get bolted on the inside
each side of that and this gets wrapped around the chassis of the vane and that
should deter any would-be faith from stealing more catalytic converter now
the first thing we've got to do is peel all this plastic off its got like a
plastic protective coating on it and before we put it to the converter is one
of these earlier this one I still need to do it looks pretty good and it's got
their logo on there as well now this company are maquette they do make a
selection of these for various vehicles they've got a whole array of them
different sizes and different shapes so I'll put a link in the description of
this video where you can buy one of these to protect your Catholic over this
isn't a paid promotion I'm just speaking from my own experience that it's really
worth getting one of these I mean my Catholic converter and DPF filter a lot
in excess of 15 underpin the considering this was only hundred and twenty pound
or 130 the oven 30 quid it's a drop in the ocean to what it could cost you if
you get your cat stolen and I think I'll sleep better at night
knowing more carrot converts protected well it's all going to peel all this off
and then get on the revenge see how old bulbs together all right see how good
this fits somewhat I'll put these on first
he's got a pipe itself um there's a pipe at the top here ray laughing that rounds
our protector
get one in the middle first I think we'll start by putting one bolt in the
middle hope you can see what I'm doing
this should be pretty straightforward really
he says this has got a square color on this bolt so that goes through that
square hole that's gonna stop that's gonna stop that from turning and then
this color so difficult doing this and filming it now on the instructions it
says to do the middle one first or pink look good releases really put me wore
out put the wire cable around and make sure it doesn't actually feel what it
sauce I think it's going to go around this this way both of them knocking
are you gonna be difficult so God get that uni with this
who's this do I cancel do this cable around and down
I think if it would be faithless tonight Andrea see all this look it's definitely
gonna put them off trying to make it a tangled mess I mean people could still
get this off they deaf to undo this nut they left on do they're not on that
chassis is we'll let em find all these nuts to get that off and I don't think
any crook furs it's good up over down that socket something do them up well so
I've done these up and they are so tight that these in bits are falling off or
come off you see they get forced off as you do it up they snap and come off and
that's what the end result is you've got these security bolts or nuts security
nuts and bolts on there the other side as well across the I think you've seen
it it's what the dark under there so there is my own card and as you can see
the cable wraps around my chassis and the sort of also wrapped it around
this bit of chassis as well the chassis rail here so I find you funny anybody
want to take this off they'd have to undo that big nut they
left on doing the big nuts in there drop my chassis let's do that they'd have to
jack the vane up so it's very unlikely that anyone is going to try and steal
more care hopefully famous last words let's get out from under here and put
rinds well I had a quick look on eBay out of interest and these things are
relatively cheap considering how much money those thieving little tow regs can
get for your catalytic converter now they only get about eighty quid for your
catalytic converter but for you to replace your catalytic converter you're
on Sprint now at least I know you're looking at around about fifteen hundred
pound for a cat and a DPF filter and I know this because my van has got brand
new DPF built when count on it well it did have last year and to think that
some little toe rag with one of these things could whip that away within a
matter of seconds it's frightening and that's why I've now got a cat guard
on my catalytic converter and I will put a link in the description of this video
where you can buy a cat guard for your catalytic converter I know it sounds
like a bit of an advert but honestly it's not I've just want to try and help
