Question for 2014/2015 V6 Owners

If you look under your truck, at the downstream catalytic converters (the ones closer to the transmission or transfer case), do both have heat cages?

I noticed tonight on mine that only the driver side has a heat cage while the passenger side is just there.

 

OK nevermind. I found some pics of the underside of a 2016 and even on those the passenger downstream cat is bare.

Pic for reference:

 

Mines the exact same 2007 Tacoma v6 Prerunner Accesscab. I just thought it got replaced because I bought it used.

Maybe they are all like that.

 

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why they would do it that way.

 

Yeah lmao. I thought it was just mine. I haven't poked my head under Tacomas and looked at their cats.

 

There are heat shields for the transfer and front drive shaft on 4x4's. Note, they are only on the Driver side. The y pipe / shields are probably identical regardless of v6 configuration
