Catalytic converters run hot enough to cook nearby wiring, fuel lines, and transmission components, and factory heat shields barely provide adequate protection in high-performance builds. Heatshield Products Cat Armor wraps OEM and aftermarket converters in a rugged, field-installable shield that blocks up to 70% of radiant heat, rated for 1,800°F continuous and 2,200°F intermittent exposure.
BioCool thermal insulation at the core. The shield uses Heatshield Products' advanced BioCool insulation material, which handles sustained converter heat without degrading over time. A rugged outer aluminum shell protects the insulation layer from road debris, water, and chemicals, making it equally at home on a Bronco crawling over rocks or a Mustang running a full aftermarket exhaust.
Secures without drilling or fabricating. Each kit includes either stainless steel locking Thermal-Ties or HP Power Anchors, depending on the variant selected. Both fastening systems cinch the shield firmly to the converter body in minutes, with no cutting, welding, or custom brackets required. The 1/4-inch thick, 8x12-inch panel conforms around the converter and stays put through heat cycles and vibration.
Keeps the surrounding components safe. When a converter is located close to factory floor pan insulation, the floorboard, tunnel, and underhood components absorb significantly more radiant heat. Cat Armor intercepts that heat at the source, reducing interior floor temperatures and protecting fuel lines, wiring harnesses, and transmission cases running close to the hot zone.
