    Does anyone know who is manufacturing the catalytic converter shields that Gulf States Toyota is putting on their Tundras?

    Alot of them
    At one point Desert Eagle was selling them to the dealerships in that area. There were two other vendors making them here in the forum but I'm not sure if either one made any for the dealerships. If I had to guess they are most likely the Desert Eagle shields.

    Why not just call the dealer and ask parts/service? They would know :monocle:

    Miller Cat(alyst) Shields is WHO WE in the GST, and probably ALL Toyota dealers get them from, through our "Associated Products" system

    Depending on WHOM you talk to, true... if, as you said that GST installed, NOT DEALER INSTALLED... but I can say for SURE they came from Miller CAT Shields out of So Cal, or Arizona.

    As several have said. Miller CAT shield. Their V1 is the full cover. Their V2 is smaller, just covers the CAT's. Although both versions are available on their website, the V2 smaller shields are not available through dealerships yet until they get approved. As of today, Miller says 4 to 6 weeks away. I am going to take the bigger shield off and opt for the V2 version; Just preference. May wait until available as my dealer gives me a discount and saves shipping charges.

    I took the dealer-installed powdercoated full shield off and replaced it with the new v2 2-piece stainless steel Miller Cat shields.
