Protect Your Catalytic Converter

Church Mutual has partnered with Catstrap to provide discounts on products that deter theft of catalytic converters. 

Products

CATSTRAP: Physical Cutting Barrier

Catstrap protects the catalytic converter by attaching along a section of the exhaust pipe, adhered by a heat-activated bond. It features an extremely difficult-to-cut design:

• Turns a normal 60-second theft into a struggle that overwhelms thieves and prevents you from being an easy target.
• Custom-hardened band steel (55 Rockwell C Hardness) dulls the teeth of the thieves’ cutting blade: 5X harder than stainless steel.
• Aircraft-grade steel cables slide back and forth on band steel to create a moving target the cutting blade cannot grip.
• Heat-activated adhesive backing (black-side), exhaust clamps and steel ties are used for multi-layer attachment strategy, forcing thieves to cut the strap to remove the converter.
• Available in 7-foot and 12-foot lengths 

Cateye Alarm

This alarm features a smart PIR motion sensor detects human activity and activates a 130 decibel Alarm after 5 seconds of sustained motion underneath the vehicle

• Ear-piercing noise physically disorients thieves and drives them out due to discomfort.
• Compliments the Catstrap to deter converter theft.
• Key fob manual activation or automatic options available.

Universal Design

Catstrap and Cateye fit on any vehicle thanks to their a low-profile, flexible, lightweight design. They require minimal space clearance and are flexible enough to follow contours. The Catstrap is available in 7-foot and 12-foot lengths.

*Installation (~0.5hr for Catstrap only, ~1hr per truck for strap+alarm bundle).

How the system works:

The Catstrap contains custom-hardened band steel (55 C Rockwell Hardness) and multiple aircraft-grade stainless steel cables hidden within a high temperature casing that attaches to the catalytic converter/exhaust system. This design makes it extremely difficult to cut, forces a thief to cut through the strap and increases the potential for saw blade wear/failure.

Pricing and Discount

Our partnership with Catstrap gives Church Mutual policyholders a 20% discount on the 7-foot and 12-foot straps and a $32 flat discount on all other products.
