    The Prius v catalytic converter is a little different than that of the regular Prius although it is still a Gen 3. I have attached a photo of the Prius v exhaust system.

    Wow to my untrained eye that looks awfully exposed. Did they also run a coolant line just like in a Gen 3 cat ?? Holy cow! It would be one thing if it was just accessible but the coolant line means more cost to fix and longer repair times.

    thanks for the post , at least now I know if I get Gen 5 to get a sheild and maybe a tilt sensor
