    Pricing with remote start with motion sensor would tun $800! And like Cat3ils said it won't prevent theft of Cat converters. So scratch that idea! Lol

    I want a skid plate more than I'm concerned about my cat. But if it did both, that would be nice. If I parked my truck outside regularly, I would find a way to weld it on or weld on some kind of bracket that would deter a thief from even wanting to try it.

    Hey guys, so still no word on the OR FAB, no reply, no email, and these a$sho$es did charge my credit card so you better check yours too. The phone number on the CC bill isn't being answered and so I had to dispute the charge with my CC company.

    I haven't gone through all the pages here but if there is a link to where you purchased listed in here it should be deleted to prevent others from purchasing and getting screwed. Hope you guys get the money back.

    Here's the perfect answer, convert to a bolt in straight pipe and have your cats made to bolt for a quick swap in and out. When its time for emissions put am back in. Huge HP gains and more beefy tone. I had high cats in my trans am and when it failed emissions I put OEM cats in and it sucked the life out of that car.

    Alright, found a skid plate that protects the catalytic converters similar to Or Fab. But this one looks thicker and nicer. I would've definitely got this if I hadn't already bought skids. What a nice insurance for anyone who parks outside. Sold by a guy named Kent from Desert Eagle Offroad.....on Facebook. I believe it's only $150. No affiliation to me.

    Sorry guys, I don't know anything about this... But Kent is on our site now, he can answer all your questions once he figures out how to navigate the forum. :)

    I was with OR Fab Four five years or Fab is out of business they got bought out by another company. But they are not reproducing anything at this time probably won't..I've been building these skid plates for over 2 years they're made out of 10 gauge steel...the dealerships love them because they order 50 at a time...They are made in the USA nothing comes from China from Desert Eagle Offroad...

    Welcome KW. Nice product, now I'm kinda wishing I didn't already get the RCI skids. Maybe I can swap out one of the 2 RCI pieces. I too, am curious about pricing. There have been A LOT of ccs stolen in my area.

    Did you order off their website or do you have to call in your order?
    Anything to help against any kind of theft is a big plus in my book.

    I contacted Kent via FB and sent him a check. He's a stand-up guy and sent it as soon as he had it made.
