Well hell....he just called me and said he had a cancellation so I drove on down and got it installed. Thanks OP for reminding me I needed to get this done.....

I read that magnaflow makes them as well but you better have a guard ready to be installed as well.

Here's the thread that originally convinced me if you folks on the fence needs some more reading..

No worries....Ol Chew is aight..


I called him as well. $280 picked up....$300 installed. Said Biden's admin has made steel jump. I guess its worth $20 to let him get under my truck and do it.... Last I saw in 2020 it was $220...

Sounds like a great deal but I can't get too far out of Montgomery county for $20. Need to see if he provided the Torx bit for the security fasteners. Sad that we have to go to such extreme measures to protect what we worked for.

When I talked to him he said there have been four steel price increases since the beginning of the year.

That is the same ideology of making guns illegal

Or do it like copper , have to show id and proof of ownership so scrap it

That is no lie....It's pathetic.

Not sure I got security fasteners....Keep me updated on that. If its something more secure, I'll look into it myself.

I watched a video perhaps posted by one of his customers. The fasteners appeared to be Torx with the pin in the center to prevent access without a special bit. Although these can be defeated pretty easily the whole idea is to make your vehicle less attractive than the next one over.

I guess I need to get under there and check to see what he installed mine with. He didn't mention them

Yep, I have to have photo ID card with the recycling place to sell my scrap.

They got my dads tundra at IAH a few weeks back. $7500 for two replacement cats. Insurance covered it and now has a desert eagle plate. Word is some Toyota dealers are putting the skid plates on to protect themselves after having so many issues with theft on the lot.
I do have a hard time understanding how two cats are 1/6th of the cost of the trucks window sticker.

He told me he was selling a bunch of plates to Houston and Dallas Toyota dealers
