$100 seems reasonable for a mechanic to install - Did you get it welded or did you settle for the clamp?
I'm sure it's pretty toasty in IL in the middle of summer and I'm sure you're running the AC - so not surprising that you don't stay in green for...
Maybe just drive the car 5 miles a day. When covid hit and I was stuck at home, I made it a daily chore to go for a drive. Bunch of people who let...
They definitely do not use brand new oem cells. Looks like they're using cylindrical cells - likely similar to the 2KToaster cells, but quality...
Where do these guys buy the new oem cells? BTW, I just looked up the price at a local dealer (assuming you live in CT) for a new oem pack - $1755....
Maybe you missed the part about the Gen 2 catalytic converter - these are the main ones that are targeted by thieves. Just search this forum (Gen...
Do you own a gen 2 Prius? Do you park on the street? If so and since you appear to live in California, then you would have a near certain...

I should add that if I had someone to help me, I likely would have removed the whole exhaust assembly and performed the cutting and cat...
Find out if it was a new oem hybrid battery or some 3rd party "reconditioned" pack.
After reading about the spike in Catalytic converter thefts all over the country I decided to pre-emptively switch out the OEM Cat for an...
I get the impression that the only thing that will deter these thieves is if they realize that the Cat is an aftermarket one with a scrap value...
I'm just curious, how will engraving on the cat (or just stating that it is engraved) deter theft? Is it possible to easily cut out the valuable...
What's the point of the "catalytic converter engraved" sticker? I would think that thieves could just cut out the valuable part if the car's vin#...
Have you ever driven a Gen 2 Prius under those conditions? Uphill, 80-90 mph, 90 deg weather so likely AC blowing, and heavily loaded.... If you...
