Just a quick video showing how I installed the MillerCat CAT Shield on a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Non-Hybrid FWD. This shield will fit 2019 - 2024 Toyota RAV4 Models.
This was an easy install and the owner of the vehicle is very happy with it. This CAT Shield is very heavy duty and I would recommend it to anyone with a Toyota RAV4.
From their website:
Material: 304 Stainless Steel, .059" | 16 Gauge
Our all-new, stainless steel RAV4 FWD V2 Cat Shield has been redesigned to encapsulate the converter and is significantly easier to install.
Notes: Shield may have some surface imperfections. Professional installation recommended. Package includes Cat Shield, tamper-proof hardware kit, Cat Shield Protected sticker, and detailed installation guide.
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.
FAQ's
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. 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.
