CAT SHIELD — WARRANTY INFORMATION

90-day manufacturer's warranty

Cat Shields carry a 90-day warranty against defects that prevent proper installation or function. Warranty requires proof of purchase from an authorized retailer (millercat.com or Amazon).

What's not covered

  • Surface appearance — please read before purchasing. Cat Shields are raw stainless steel and aluminum components. They are not painted, powder coated, or finished. Mill marks, minor scratches, surface oxidation, and manufacturing residue are inherent characteristics of these materials and are present on every unit we ship. This is expected and normal. Products that show these characteristics are not defective and are not eligible for a return or warranty claim.
  • Damage from improper installation, road debris, or modification
  • Labor, diagnostics, or incidental costs

Theft deterrence

Cat Shields are a deterrence device designed to significantly increase the difficulty of converter theft — not to make it impossible. Given enough time and tools, a determined thief may still succeed. We have extensive customer accounts and video evidence of derailed theft attempts.

For warranty claims, email support@millercat.com with your order number, proof of purchase, photos, and a description of the issue. View full warranty information.

Please check compatibility below prior to purchase. Shield may have some surface imperfections. Professional installation recommended. Package includes catalytic converter shield, tamper-proof hardware kit, Cat Shield Protected sticker, and detailed installation guide. Order today to protect your vehicle from catalytic converter theft.

Will the shield interfere with maintenance such as engine oil and transmission fluid changes?

All Miller CAT Cat Shields will not interfere with your oil changes. Some vehicles will require the shield to be removed for transmission fluid changes. Check your maintenance schedule on how frequently to change your transmission fluid. For Toyota vehicles, Toyota's recommendation is 30-60k miles and 60-100k miles depending on your vehicle and driving habits.

Does this shield cause the converter to overheat?

No, our shields will not cause overheating or damage to your vehicle. In addition to shields, we manufacture catalytic converters, so we know how to protect them without damaging the converter or your vehicle. Read about this in more detail.

How long does it take to ship?

We know you can’t wait long to protect your converters when theft is so rampant. Here at Miller CAT, our shields are made to stock and ready to ship. Unlike many other companies that make shields to order, we fulfill orders in 1-2 business days and if possible, on the same day.

FITMENT TABLE

Our Fitment Guarantee: While we do our best to test and verify every model, it is impossible to know for sure. We guarantee that if your vehicle is listed on the fitment table and you purchased the right shield for your vehicle but the shield does not fit, we will issue a full refund including return shipping on the product. The vehicle must have the original converter and no modifications to the suspension. If you are unsure about your fitment, please send photos to support@millercat.com to verify fitment before purchase.

2023 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4x4 Miller Catalytic Converter Shield

I installed the Miller Catalytic Converter Shield on my 2023 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4x4, Item number TOY-042. The install is easy and took me about an hour in my driveway taking my time. I did have to make on modification to the rear catalytic converter rear shield bracket, I have a Borla Cat Back exhaust on my 2.7 so I have the Borla extension pipe, that pipe has a bend where the rear catalytic rear shield bracket bolts on so I had to cut out the bracket some to clear the pipe, This had nothing to do with Miller and their design. It was an easy fix.

I did however run into one issue on the rear shield and that is the two bolts that are supposed to screw into the side of the rear shield into the outside of the frame rail do not line up with the holes, the holes in the shield are a little forward and a little down from the holes on the frame rail. All the brackets are bolted at the correct locations so I don't know if maybe Toyota made a change or if this shield the two holes are just a little off.

Overall this is a nice bolt on system that is not hard to install, it is well though out and it does provide maximum protection for the front and rear catalytic converters.

If my exhaust had still been stock I would not have had to cutout the rear catalytic converter shield bracket.

I highly recommend this product for anyone with a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7L 4x4. I no longer worry about my catalytic converters being easily stolen. Once a thief slides under and sees the shields they will just move on to an easier target.

Great product

Pretty easy install the instructions could just be a link to an instructional video. And you could include another tube of lock tite.

The shield met my expectations

1. After a few mistakes and re-dos, I was able to get this installed. Some of the directions were not totally clear as far as which end goes to the front. I spent a couple hours installing this. Probably could have been done in half the time if I knew what I was doing. I had the truck lifted on jack stands and used a roller creeper in my driveway.
2. I can see where one part of the shield might cause rattling as reported by another user. I was expecting to implement some modification to resolve that, but so far rattling hasn't been an issue.
3. Wear gloves. Some of the edges are sharp.
4. The last couple of bolts that went in were just a little mis-aligned with the threaded holes in the frame and were very difficult to get in, in spite of leaving all the other bolts loose.
5. The security bolt heads require using the (2) tools that come with the kit. I had a set of hex and star bit tools that contained a similar head, but did not work with these bolts. So don't lose those tools. Keep them in your glove box when done. And don't over torque the bolts. If you damage the tools or the bolts, you're out of luck getting the shield back off if you ever need to replace your exhaust.

Took it to my Mechanic and it was a solid perfect fit. No issues thus far. Recently installed it two days before this review. I’m happy to know that my important pieces of the vehicle are protected from the possibility theft. Thanks again!

Well made product, but it took a while to install

The instructions could use more detailed photos, especially in Step 01 for assembling the Wing Plate. I ended up with a left over part that I could not find referenced in the instructions, so I don't know if I need it.

Good product

Not good advertising. Need to better show thickness of product. Surprised at the quality and thickness of metal covers easily installed and very soiled.

Rattling drives me crazy

It covers the catalytic cover as described but it rattles like crazy. Whenever the vehicle is at a stop, it rattles. I can hear it from the inside of the truck. The only time it doesn’t rattle is when the vehicle is in park or in neutral. Hopefully in the future it’s made better but I would not have purchased had I know it would sound this awful.

Optimal Protection from Thieves !

First off let me say that this is a heavy duty well built item, everything lined up perfectly to the frame of my truck. You can really tell they took time to actually mock this up to fit perfect and every single piece serves its purpose. Instructions are very clear, they include picture diagrams to show what goes where. I installed this myself with somewhat experience on working on my own trucks but I believe a beginner can do this with time and patience. I took me about an hour and a half to install because I took my time and made sure to retighten everything. I also liked that they included thread locker so I wouldn’t have to go and buy some. All bolts are security screws as well, I can’t imagine a thief wasting time to take bolts off or even attempt to cut it as it’s perfectly secure making it hard for them to stick in a jigsaw. Price was a bit expensive compared to shields for a V6 model, but since the market is so scarce for 4 bangers this was a perfect option for me.

Great product a little expensive but less than a new catalytic converter, it fits like a glove on my 4 cylinder I couldn’t find a shield for my small truck because most manufacturers make them for 6 cylinder only, I really recommend this to anybody looking to protect their truck catalytic converter very easy to install you don’t need to be an expert to install this shield on your truck, happy happy
