That’s great!! If you don’t mind me asking, would it be safe to drive the car on the highway in this situation? For example, if you’re a few hours away from home and it gets stolen, is it safe to drive home or should you find a repair service locally where the theft happened? Thank you for any advice.

Here you can really see how a Prius works. I didn't know before how much it uses the electric motor and when it kicks on the gasoline engine. Sadly the fuel mileage was still worse than the BMW M3 in the Top Gear test lol
@@nameless_4084 You say that the Prius got worse fuel economy than an M3 in that Top Gear test, the point of that test wasn’t to show how inefficient the Prius is or that the M3 is a hypermiler, it was to show how much your driving style affects fuel economy. That Prius was essentially being hooned around a track, pushing it to its limits, while the M3 was going for a casual drive behind the Prius
@@snackler6102 Bypassing? The catalytic converter is already stolen! This is just a temporary solution for the noise. Not everyone has a second car they can drive. It may take weeks or months to get a replacement part.
No he’s driving a Prius with a stolen catalytic converter. The Prius is the subject, with is the preposition. It’s like saying without since stolen is the missing object.
Having experience driving a honda with open headers its sounds exactly the same but id definitely rather drive this prius due to the hybrid being an angel and doing most of the work
@@fanoftheclassics5720 the Prius is pretty powerful compared to the Honda. Not that the engine is any weaker they are a bout even maybe the Honda a bit stronger but the e cvt on the Prius is stronger by much than the Honda automatic transmission
@@KiwiMaker yeah and how much they can restrict power and cause your gas mileage to go down something I recommend to everybody is getting a more open exhaust doesn’t need to be loud but your needs to breath my guy and a restrictive exhaust is like you trying to breath through a collapsed trachea it just don’t go well
Gm sells a LS2 6.0L V8 Prius (well they did 2008-2013 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade ) it had a 6.0l that got 22mpg ish with a new battery you can get 32.5mpg on the highway if you drive it right..
@@theantiveganchannel3596 one of my classmate in my diesel class drives a hybrid silverado it’s pretty cool just a giant 6.0 v8 and you can see the battery and all the other hybrid bs it has. Bad thing is parts are hard to get since it’s different from a normal Silverado/Yukon.
@Oxh Honestly it really depends on the car, but for example I wouldn't try this in a state like california. Personally I think only a v8 sounds good with a modified exhaust with some small exceptions of course. But even on my v8, I can tell you it's a lot easier to get a louder sound by just changing the axle back. When you start messing with the midpipe you start to open up more problems, especially if you go catless. If you just care about sound, then touch the axle backs. If you care about performance, THEN get a catback. Just keep in mind, that the money you put in DOES NOT equal the horse power you're going to gain. Your much better off saving up for a supercharger, a tune from a reputable tuner, tires, or even long tube headers. You will only gain about 3 HP if any from putting a bunch of money into the midpipe and nothing from the axleback, if maybe .0001 HP. Just trying to let you know what I learned the hardway.
@@KiwiMaker maybe a youtuber is going to do this to a new prius, or exhusat mod, ideally liek a clean sounding k swap lotus elise. maybe the programming can be changed to lessen electric steering power assist, those tires are thin, minimizing braking for battery, brakes, fuel oil , tires longveity could be good. in japan , prevoosu generation prius trd is handling package with swap bar, chassis stiffening, miltu link rear suspension, could get rid of window moving stuff, decoration, some NVH, seats replacement etc. then people use earbud sort of stuff and gel office chair cushion sor tof thing if they want.
This video makes me regret not making a video on my Prius when it had its catalytic converter stolen, I honestly had the most fun that week because all I would do is 100% full throttle, on the freeway and such just so that I can get the pop pop pop pop pop bang when the engine cuts off due to the electric powertrain kicking in when you let off the throttle. I own a Lexus GS 430 with nothing past the catalytic converters and it sounds like an absolute beauty. That week gave me such a rush of amazing feelings because this car is so great but it would sound even better if it just had a decent exhaust. My only issue is that it cuts out abruptly, TBH I'd rather have the constant sound of the engine versus it cutting out intermittently and interrupting my absolute blissful state of engine noises. What's funny is the difference between power mode and when it's an Eco status. When you're in power mode it sounds absolutely amazing and high revs, but when you go into eco mode whether you're playing with the throttle or just an eco mode in general, it sounds almost as good as a V8 because of how low the RPMs are on the gasoline engine. I wish Toyota would put an RPM meter on the gasoline engine sometimes because the telemetry that you have now only shows you a gauge of how far you are on the throttle essentially. Anyways, great video, regret not making one, have a grand day mate. 👍
im sorry this happened to you i have had my cataylic converter stolen 3 times this year it sucks. The people who stole it dont care its honestly sad. I would say install a cataylic converter shield to protect it I just put one on mine for the first time.
Me too 3 times in 1 year. Then I put the cat shield. When I was going to go to work I had food thrown all over my car. I'm pretty sure it was the same jerk he probably got mad.
Had to do this for about a week until I got my replacement cat. I considered it spreading awareness of cat theft lmfao. The looks in traffic were insane.
They go for hybrids because they run the engine less often so the cats are more likely to be in better condition plus I think they use bigger cats to get the emissions way down
I have the same situation about 1.5 year ago. Don't floor it, because flame from exhaust can damage your A/F sensor and u need to replace it (it cost me about 130$)
So after 1.5 years ii install new catalic converter and it's pretty nice. Quite, don't have petrol smell and enviroment can say me thanks. And had amazing story, how cops caught thiefs. When they try to stole 4-th catalisator, cops hide at another side of street and requested help. Then they turn on siren and flashing signal and start chase them. Thiefs jump into the car and start drove away. After few km they swerved into the opposite lane and crash into the cop car, which drove to caught them. The end
@@jetstream454 yeah, it's 0² sensor. In our country we call it lambda sensor. This is 1-st sensor (near exhaust),which calculate air and fuel ratio,as I know
It definitely doesn't seem like they use the electric motors all that much, eh? Maybe it helps a lot in traffic but it seems like most of the time it's just a normal car but heavier.
@@E55W211 Did you forget to take your meds? I quite literally do know a lot more than most people about cars. It's kind of necessary for me to know about cars since I'm a qualified mechanic and all. All I said is that the Prius uses the engine a lot more than you'd think it would considering how heavily the electric motors are used in marketing.
That's rough, catalytic converter thieves are the worst. I had an exhaust pipe knocked off my car a couple years ago so I had this same problem, but being that it is a muscle car with a v8 engine, I kinda liked the sound 😂. My car is too low to get under to try and steal the catalytic converter, and if they do manage to get underneath it, they'll be met with disappointment when they realize that it doesn't have one.
I work at a shop in Seattle and have replaced MANY of these over the past couple of years. You might ask your mechanic about getting a protective shield to avoid it happening again; I've seen people go without the shield and then have the cat stolen again a few months later and have to go through the hassle and cost all over again.
Haha - There is a guy I know who had his Toyota's cat stolen 3 times in a row within two weeks and one of them straight from the shop's yard during the weekend when they had replaced it!!
You might want to move out of Seattle lmao. I've heard so many issues with Seattle and shit like car break ins and Cat theft. I mean, I'd like to believe that, like NJ, Seattle is just misunderstood, but it's really hard when people talk about how many times their cats have been stolen and meanwhile I've never had an issue in NJ
@@TurtleSauceGaming No, it's not misunderstood, you're 100% right lol. I don't have any hard stats, but just from personal experience, crime has been skyrocketing even over the past year and I don't even live/work in a bad part of the city. Garbage in the streets, rampant homeless encampments, open hard drug use are all just part of the everyday environment now. I'm sure there are still _far_ worse cities in the country, but I'm about ready to get back out of the city in general.
@@JudsonRadioI mean, I did some digging and Washington is one of the highest frequency states of cat theft, but NJ is up there too, just behind Washington. But I've never had myself, my family, or anyone I know well report to me that someone tried to take their cats. Meanwhile, it seems like so many people from Washington have had their cats taken, or know someone , and often multiple times. It's a shame. It kills any desire I have to go there, much like California cities. Though city living is generally becoming less and less appealing overall.
Imagine someone tries to steal a Swedish kids mufflers 🤣. From 15 you can drive and own an EPA (car that you converted to only have 2 seats and max 30 km/h) and since they go 30 they count as a tractor and that makes it legal to straight pipe it and shit. No laws about it needing to be quiet or safe.
lol wtf it sounds like a track car. I know it's annoying and upsetting AF to get ur shit stolen but i would consider this a W lol. think of it as a free upgrade! however ur neighbours are probably gonna hate u now. XD
Wow and this is becoming more common these days. It sucks when it happens but hopefully you got it handled. I’m sure your check engine light came on too.
I could see someone LS swapping one of these and adding another battery pack (to extend the EV mode). EV mode: around 75 miles LS on demand: yeet 😄 That would be quite the sleeper
GM did that LS2 6.0L it has 40 cells.. they put it in the silverado,tahoe ,yukon ,esc i actually got one of them.... it has a lotta power but if you drive it right you can get 32mpg out of the v8 engine. not too bad
Just leave it straight piped. Less weight, better gas flow, better fuel economy. Cut out the stock muffler too, replace it with a replica HKS HiPower from Aliexpress, (edit) or any no-name or less known small brand straight-through muffler because they all do the same. (Literally just a mesh, fibers on top, encased in a steel cylinder. Length controls the muffling capacity. As simple as they come.) It muffles enough and contributes even further to the "less weight" and "better gas flow" things i mentioned above. While at it, throw in a legit/real HKS, AEM, A'pexi or K&N filter too and do a remap to tie it all together. The little more extra power wouldn't hurt. Why not also get the JP Style bodykit too? It's hella cheap. And some OZ Alleggerita HLT would look great on the Prius. Not to mention the increased fuel economy, because it cuts the weight per wheel to less than half. Like, it's the best excuse to tune the Prius. It would not only look and sound better, but be faster and consume less fuel than before too. Simple builds are pretty nice.
Also why are u encouraging people to put on a fake HKS part from AliExpress China? Isn't that what poser do? Using fake parts and showing off with fakes in order to feel better? But so sorry no respect for fakes
@@TC926 It's more fun? Yes. It's lighter and easier to control? Yes. Consumes surprisingly even less fuel, as absurd as it may sound? Yes. Sounds better? Yes. So why does it matter if it gets gapped by a Civic? It's about the experience, not some meaningless highway racing. That's my point of view.
@@myrmeko ofc u can have fun with ur vehicle. But why putting knockoffs all over it? The only experience that u would probably get from using knockoffs fake parts is that it doesn't fit that well compared to the real. And rough surface and some quality control issues. U can get more experience by 3D printing and make ur own parts
@@TC926 Ok, ignore that i said "fake HKS". Just replace it with a generic no-name or small unkown brand muffler. It's just fibers surrounding a perforated steel mesh, encased in a steel cylinder. You can buy any straight-through, cylinder type muffler from any company. Only the length is different, so the level of muffling is different. The rest is the same, no matter if you buy a HKS, Borla, fake HKS, small unkown brand or no brand at all. It's as simple as it can possibly get. And for 30$, a muffler that both sounds and looks good, i think it's more than worth it.
instead of paying a shop a bunch of labor for a temporary fix just get the sections of pipe from auto zone and clamp it together if you are worried about a noise ticket or being rude to neighbors. it will take less than an hour and cost 30 bucks
My holden rodeo ute had an exhaust leak and it sounded just like that. I thought it was tough. When I got it fixed it was so quiet I almost stalled it out of the shop not being able to hear the revs (no tacho).

Garbage in the streets, rampant homeless encampments, open hard drug use are all just part of the everyday environment now. I'm sure there are still _far_ worse cities in the country, but I'm about ready to get back out of the city in general.
@@JudsonRadioI mean, I did some digging and Washington is one of the highest frequency states of cat theft, but NJ is up there too, just behind Washington. But I've never had myself, my family, or anyone I know well report to me that someone tried to take their cats. Meanwhile, it seems like so many people from Washington have had their cats taken, or know someone , and often multiple times. It's a shame. It kills any desire I have to go there, much like California cities. Though city living is generally becoming less and less appealing overall.
Why does it actually sound kind of good though...?
Woah it’s so loud! Hopefully more people are aware of this now and can take preventative measures for their cars
Yep. Crackheads in every country the world around.
yeah unfortunately, were just a couple years behind.
Sorry for the loss of your catalytic converter. Your car now sounds like it'll do a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds! You get a new one soon!
Run a pipe from where it used to be, to the muffler
I love how it instantly switches from super quiet to super loud
at least it makes a lil more power also is that an AE86 at 3:29?
Why does it sound KINDA good?
Was hoping you would just pedal to the metal for a bit to hear it at full capacity 😂
I would go deaf!!
@@KiwiMaker 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t do this!!! The carcinogens leak through the cabin this will cause all types of health problems with prolonged use
i love how its dead quiet until you throttle up 😂
Calls out to the Best V8 burble
The one who looks:
Big
Block
Chevy
The one they are actually talking to:
Prius
lmfao sounds like a lawn mower
It sounds like Prius with the exhaust cut off at the catalytic converter.
Imagine someone tries to steal a Swedish kids mufflers 🤣. From 15 you can drive and own an EPA (car that you converted to only have 2 seats and max 30 km/h) and since they go 30 they count as a tractor and that makes it legal to straight pipe it and shit. No laws about it needing to be quiet or safe.
lol wtf it sounds like a track car. I know it's annoying and upsetting AF to get ur shit stolen but i would consider this a W lol. think of it as a free upgrade! however ur neighbours are probably gonna hate u now. XD
Its acutally fine, just slip it into electric mode down the driveway and then let it rip!
it sounds like a Prius with a deleted cat....
Don't tell the insurance mate, just get it fixed yourself. Insurance will fuck ya over
How many people have tried to race you since the delete lol?
This happened to me and I seriously thought that there was a motorcycle behind me so I pulled over!!! Hahaha
2:23 it amazes me how much people on bikes think you’re challenging them just because you’re loud.
No
The biker just doesn’t want to be rear ended by a distracted driver
I’ve seen this happen way too many times
Shit sounds like a hellcat
at least you got some type of enjoyment from this 😂
Wow and this is becoming more common these days. It sucks when it happens but hopefully you got it handled. I’m sure your check engine light came on too.
I could see someone LS swapping one of these and adding another battery pack (to extend the EV mode).
EV mode: around 75 miles
LS on demand: yeet 😄
That would be quite the sleeper
GM did that LS2 6.0L it has 40 cells.. they put it in the silverado,tahoe ,yukon ,esc
i actually got one of them.... it has a lotta power but if you drive it right you can get 32mpg out of the v8 engine. not too bad
This is NZ right? Wouldn't think you would need a cat to pass inspection. Just get muffler shop to put bit of pipe in
keep it like that its amazing
So many stupid Thieves steal these Catalytic Converter These days like 🤨🤨
Just leave it straight piped.
Less weight, better gas flow, better fuel economy.
Cut out the stock muffler too, replace it with a replica HKS HiPower from Aliexpress, (edit) or any no-name or less known small brand straight-through muffler because they all do the same. (Literally just a mesh, fibers on top, encased in a steel cylinder. Length controls the muffling capacity. As simple as they come.)
It muffles enough and contributes even further to the "less weight" and "better gas flow" things i mentioned above.
While at it, throw in a legit/real HKS, AEM, A'pexi or K&N filter too and do a remap to tie it all together.
The little more extra power wouldn't hurt.
Why not also get the JP Style bodykit too? It's hella cheap. And some OZ Alleggerita HLT would look great on the Prius. Not to mention the increased fuel economy, because it cuts the weight per wheel to less than half.
Like, it's the best excuse to tune the Prius.
It would not only look and sound better, but be faster and consume less fuel than before too.
Simple builds are pretty nice.
Doing all that and still getting gapped by tuned Civic?
Also why are u encouraging people to put on a fake HKS part from AliExpress China? Isn't that what poser do? Using fake parts and showing off with fakes in order to feel better? But so sorry no respect for fakes
@@TC926 It's more fun? Yes.
It's lighter and easier to control? Yes.
Consumes surprisingly even less fuel, as absurd as it may sound? Yes.
Sounds better? Yes.
So why does it matter if it gets gapped by a Civic? It's about the experience, not some meaningless highway racing.
That's my point of view.
@@myrmeko ofc u can have fun with ur vehicle. But why putting knockoffs all over it? The only experience that u would probably get from using knockoffs fake parts is that it doesn't fit that well compared to the real. And rough surface and some quality control issues. U can get more experience by 3D printing and make ur own parts
@@TC926 Ok, ignore that i said "fake HKS". Just replace it with a generic no-name or small unkown brand muffler.
It's just fibers surrounding a perforated steel mesh, encased in a steel cylinder.
You can buy any straight-through, cylinder type muffler from any company. Only the length is different, so the level of muffling is different. The rest is the same, no matter if you buy a HKS, Borla, fake HKS, small unkown brand or no brand at all. It's as simple as it can possibly get. And for 30$, a muffler that both sounds and looks good, i think it's more than worth it.
This made happy. A hybrid and that sound this ignorant. I love it!!! =)
We get what we vote for. If we don't get a change of government next year NZ will likely never recover, at least not for the next few generations.
Its not fully the govts fault.. people are responcible for themselves
Just don't stop building toyota v8s
instead of paying a shop a bunch of labor for a temporary fix just get the sections of pipe from auto zone and clamp it together if you are worried about a noise ticket or being rude to neighbors. it will take less than an hour and cost 30 bucks
Someone needs to invent a catalytic converter alarm system already
Why does this Prius sound like a V6 mustang that’s been straight piped
Still sounds better than most cars
(Sorry for your cats tho)
My holden rodeo ute had an exhaust leak and it sounded just like that. I thought it was tough. When I got it fixed it was so quiet I almost stalled it out of the shop not being able to hear the revs (no tacho).
It’s probably 150 pounds to have a pipe welded in and reduce the noise
never in my life i would see/hear a prius transform into a motorcycle.
It’s just a TH-cam video but for a man who owns a prius u seem coo ngl
Its so confusing, its like you have 1000 ping, you start ti drive but the sound comes 3 seconds later
yes it was "stolen" right 😂😏 should we believe that? Or you just needed a prius to shout at traffic 😂
You could install a new cat in your driveway in like 20 minutes….
I never knew the older Priuses had such an ugly steering wheel. The proportions look out of whack.
honestly everything just sounds louder with no muffler or cats lol
There should be law that punish these stealers to cut their hands so that they will lessen this kind of crime.
you found out that converter is stolen
you: anyway upgrade
sounds like a 2006 honda civic owned by a 20 year old
Only in a Prius do you put your foot down, the noise gets louder, and your speed stays the same lol.
日本ではあまりの事故の多さにプリウスミサイルとも呼ばれていますw
Who would unbolt a converter??? Fake...
Every old car in Houston sounds like this lol 😂
3:30 AE86 OMG BRO how lucky is that
This sounds terrible. Why would you do this to your car?
It's amazing how it even sounds like a car!
sounds better then the honda fart cannons roaring through town
Just buy a cat from the auto store for 150 bucks ...
Even a expensive exhaust don't sound this good,
Good for an extra 5 horsepower, weeee! Pwius babeee! 😂🙏👏
