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.

Quality as expected

I have purchased miller cats products before and decided to purchase the 12G variant this time for my new to me 23 off-road. Install was easy and done in 15 minutes. Very high quality cuts and bends on the shield. Now I can park anywhere without worrying a thief will steal my cats.

Trustworthy company, high quality steel, excellent customer service

I bought and installed the newest SS 12ga cat shield for my 3rd gen Taco. Needless to say, I'm impressed and satisfied with the quality and fitment; the shield definitely doubles as a skid plate to protect your transmission and cat. I researched other competitive shields on the market, however, I chose Miller CAT due to the quality and easy install (Pro tip: Get a helping hand and/or car jack for the 3 front bolts. Still doable solo). Also, their rigorous testing for heat dissipation and excellent quality recessed bolts (Note: recessed for the SS 12ga version only) are major reasons to go with them. Price reflects the quality, and peace of mind is priceless. Big shoutout to the team and customer service folks at Miller CAT who helped me with my purchasing needs. Would definitely recommend and buy again!

It’s secure NOW

I am 64 years disabled and put it together and installed by myself. Love the thickness of the stainless steel. I believe it’s pretty secure now and should entice thieves to go somewhere else to an easier target. The install was easier than I thought, a few reports of the three bolts in the front went right in took about two minutes. It was heavy but with floor jack made it easy. I also had the TRD front plate which only meant waiting to put the drivers side guard on after the main was installed. There was no reason to remove the TRD front guard, thank you for making it so easy for me to secure my truck.

Feel much safer. Great protection against thieves.

Thank you for this excellent product. I had it installed by a mechanic but believe we could’ve installed it ourselves.

Easy peasy

Easy enough to install, a helping hand (or jack) to hold it up is convenient, but easy enough to install on 4x4 tacoma . Packaged real good too!

Simple install - solid piece/peace of mind

Delivery was quick and clean. Everything arrived well-packaged, and all parts in the box were properly protected during shipping with no damage or missing pieces.

The instructions are pretty basic, so don’t expect a super detailed walkthrough. I’d recommend watching a few installation videos beforehand as it makes the process a lot easier and clearer when you’re actually under the truck.

Installation itself is straightforward, but it definitely helps to have your truck lifted. Having extra clearance gives you more room to crawl under and makes lining everything up much easier.

Overall, it’s a solid upgrade for theft protection and worth it for peace of mind.

Great and simple addition

I found it infinitely more simple to install if you were to install the front three crossmember bolts first, and then install the side shields in place. Just remember to get them up there before you reinstall crossmember and to temporarily bolt in the back end so it’s not hanging by the three front bolts. But with the side shields Not installed yet, the front three crossmember bolt were no problem at all and no need to remove front skid plate. Should be the listed install method.

Perfect fit. Easy install. Purchased aluminum version. The uprights left and right flex, vibrate when car is running. Could be stiffer or maybe add a rod running along the shield and up the sides. Happy with the extra protection.

Great cat shield

I ordered the aluminum catalytic converter shield for my rwd Tacoma. The cast shield arrived at my house very quickly. The build aluminum shield is light weight, but still feels sturdy. I put it together and mounted it on my truck in about 2 hours. I’m very satisfied with my order!
