You can share your opinions on why you think these issues are happening (I appreciate it) but don't make assumptions about me. I'm not riding a moral high horse nor am I offended, that's your assumption.

The number of posts about stolen property is becoming alarming to me. The laughable theme in the comments seems to be curiosity about the circumstances of how something was stolen. My point is that it doesn't really matter. We'd be better served to have meaningful discussions about common sense solutions to fix the root causes of why things are being stolen.

Your joking right? Outside of a few areas like Burlington, Rutland,Brattleboro, VT is overall an extremely safe place. My issue is that we seem to be far more fixated on the problem and not why the problems are far worse than ever before. If that gets me downvotes, I think we're all screwed.

Instead of making a reddit post couldn't you just go take them down? I know "it's not my job"but seriously, if it bothers you it wouldn't take much effort to fix it. We've gotten to the point of being a bunch of whiners..Just fix it.

Edit* if it's on public property*

Have you seen a prius header and downpipe? There is a resonator then a straight section with the upstream o2 ... As long as that hasn't been cut out it should have enough back pressure. It will be loud and throw an emissions code but won't run like crap.

Wrong wrong wrong. The only job of the secondary or downstream o2 sensor (after the cat) is to tell the ecu the cat is working. The upstream o2 sensor does all the fuel adjustment... The car will throw an emissions CEL for the missing cat but it is 100% harmless for the engine to drive without a Cat on a prius as long as the upper resonator and upstream o2 haven't been cut out.

For the future inspection, OP should shop around at exhaust shops for pricing. Possibly even find a shop that allows bringing your own part, saving extra cash.
