    Do you have smog checks in Alaska? Can’t steal something that’s not there. Could weld a flange on the exhaust for easy swap between cat and pipe when or if needed. Everything ive seen for sale will just add a couple mins and require a couple more tools for the thief. If your talking about a heat shield I’ve seen ppl use these cooking trays haha.

    As far as I’ve found, nobody up here keeps them in stock. In typical alaska fashion they can order it for you for more than it would cost to buy it yourself and get it shipped yourself. I did find a couple online vendors that shipped to Alaska.

    Regarding the install, it looks pretty straightforward, might be worth tackling yourself
