Description

RCI Offroad Catalytic Guard | 2015+ Chevy Colorado

Stop Catalytic Theft. Full Underbody Coverage. Seamless Skid Plate Integration.

The Ultimate Theft Deterrent for Your Colorado

Protect your Chevy Colorado from costly theft and underbody damage with the RCI Metalworks Catalytic Guard Kit. In today’s world, catalytic converter theft is a multi-thousand dollar headache that can happen in seconds. This guard provides full coverage, filling the gap between your vehicle frame and transmission skid plate for a seamless security solution.

Precision-engineered in the USA from CNC laser-cut 12ga steel, these guards are designed to tie in perfectly with your RCI underbody armor system. Don't leave your exhaust system exposed to thieves or jagged trail obstacles.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Catalytic converters are high-value targets for thieves, and factory skids leave them completely exposed. A replacement can cost over $2,500 plus weeks of shop time.
The RCI Solution: A rugged 12ga steel barrier that physically blocks access to the converters while maintaining necessary airflow for heat dissipation.

*Requirement: Requires RCI Transmission Skid Plate for installation.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"After my neighbor's Colorado had its cat cut out overnight, I didn't want to take any chances. I already had the RCI engine skid, so adding the transmission skid and these cat guards was a no-brainer. The fit is incredibly tight, and it covers the exactly where a saw would go. Massive peace of mind when parking at trailheads or in the city."

- David K., GMC Canyon Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Can I install these without an RCI Transmission Skid Plate?

No. These guards are designed as an add-on and specifically bolt to the RCI Transmission Skid Plate. They will not function as a standalone product.

+ Will these cause my exhaust to overheat?

RCI guards feature a custom vented design. This ensures that while the converter is physically protected, there is still adequate airflow for heat dissipation, preventing damage to your exhaust components.

+ Do these guards fit the Colorado Diesel models?

Fitment has not yet been verified for the 2.8L Duramax diesel models. Because the diesel exhaust configuration is significantly different from the gas models, we cannot guarantee compatibility.

+ How much ground clearance will I lose?

Minimal. These are designed to be as low-profile as possible while still providing a physical barrier. They sit flush with the frame and transmission skid plate, maintaining your truck's off-road capabilities.

+ Are these sold as a pair?

Yes. Each kit includes both the driver-side and passenger-side guards along with all necessary mounting hardware.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
