jitterymonkey Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 That Utube video was kinda funny but there's nothin' funny about some a-hole cutting off your converter. 45 seconds is freaking fast. When it happened to me my Pathfinder was sitting at a small used car dealership, on a busy 4 lane road with houses not 20 feet away. They got 10-15 vehicles on the lot all in 1 night. Don't see how that cage would have stopped them. No way they did all those by hand. Obviously used a Sawzall. Asked a few people who'd know, why nobody heard the noise. They told me that if you use a sharp blade and keep it tight against the pipe it's really quiet Had to have a universal welded in because they also took the flanges off the other pipe. Happens again I'm going to run without a converter and when the FEDs come for me "TOP A DA WORLD MA!!!! " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I've got a brass & lead metal donation for the crack/meth head that shows with a sawzall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a high torque cordless milwaukee.. .all I need is a sweet diamond blade and i'm set! I'll start my little mafia right here in Wrangell, AK. Only problem is most cars up here have lost their exhausts anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ...i guess its better than steeling copper out of your A/C system... Or the aluminum siding off your house. Hell, they were stealing the bronze manhole covers that had the huge Columbus seal on it and selling them for scrap here. They cracked down hard on salvage metals last year in Columbus.

Pretty lame if you ask me, they go for about $125 used but I guess its worth it for a crackhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
