    So I got this catalytic cover for $160 at:

    You will need a rivet gun or give it to someone who has like a mechanic. I let my mechanic install it.

    After driving it, I notice that it rattles. The bottom of the catalytic bangs on the cover only when I accelerate from a stop. The best solution I came up with was to crumple an aluminum/tin foil and wedge it firmly between the cat and the cover. I have had no issues for over a year now.

    My install on my 2012 Prius v. I left out the rear plate.

    To prevent rattling, I made four opposing longitudinal radial bends in the plate. 212305_IMG_1237.jpg 212306_IMG_1244.jpg
