Description

RCI Offroad Catalytic Converter Guard | 2015-Present F-150 (Including PowerBoost)

Stop Theft in Seconds. Vented Heat Dissipation. 10-Gauge Steel Security.

The Ultimate Anti-Theft Solution for your F-150

Protect your Ford F-150 from the rising epidemic of catalytic converter theft with the RCI Metalworks Catalytic Guard Kit. These guards provide full coverage for your expensive converters, filling the vulnerable gaps between the vehicle frame and the transmission skid plate.

Specifically engineered for 2015-Present F-150 models, including a dedicated design for the 21-Present PowerBoost Hybrid, these plates are custom-fit to provide premium protection and peace of mind. Once installed, these guards cannot be removed without first dropping the main skid plates, making them a nearly impenetrable deterrent for thieves.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Catalytic converter theft takes less than 60 seconds and can cost you over $2,500 in repairs, plus weeks of vehicle downtime.
The RCI Solution: Our CNC laser-cut 10-gauge steel guards create a seamless "shield" that protects your investment while maintaining airflow for proper engine cooling.

*NOTE: This product REQUIRES an RCI Transmission Skid Plate for installation.

Key Features: RCI Catalytic Guards

Maximum Theft Deterrence

Designed to be impossible to remove once the skid plate is secured, forcing thieves to look for an easier target.

Vented Airflow Design

Features precision vents to ensure adequate airflow and heat dissipation for your exhaust system.

Reinforced Strength

Not just for theft—these guards tie into the frame and transmission skid, increasing the overall structural rigidity of your armor.

PowerBoost Compatible

Specific variants engineered to clear the unique plumbing and chassis requirements of the Hybrid PowerBoost drivetrain.

Direct Bolt-On

Installs in minutes using provided hardware and existing mounting points. No permanent vehicle modifications.

American Quality

CNC laser-cut from 10ga steel and powder-coated for a professional, rust-resistant finish.

Over-Engineered Security

We believe protection should be permanent. These guards are built from 10-gauge CNC laser-cut steel, providing a custom fit that contours to the F-150 frame. The smooth, flat surface also aids in off-road performance, allowing your truck to slide over obstacles without snagging sensitive components.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"After my neighbor's F-150 had its cats stolen in the driveway, I didn't want to take any chances. I already had the RCI transmission skid, so adding these was a no-brainer. They fit perfectly on my PowerBoost and feel incredibly solid. It's a small price to pay for not having to deal with insurance and a loud exhaust!"

- Jason T., 2022 F-150 PowerBoost Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. These catalytic guards are designed specifically to bolt onto the RCI Transmission Skid Plate. They do not have independent mounting points to function as a standalone product.

+ Will these fit my 2WD model F-150?

These guards are designed and tested for 4x4 models only. Mounting points and frame clearances on 2WD trucks may differ.

+ Will my engine overheat with these installed?

No. The RCI Catalytic Guards feature a vented design specifically engineered to maintain proper airflow and allow heat to dissipate from the exhaust system.

+ How hard is it for a thief to remove these?

Extremely difficult. Once the transmission skid plate is bolted on over the guards, the fasteners for the guards are largely inaccessible. A thief would have to remove the entire skid plate system—a process that is too loud and time-consuming for a typical "grab and go" theft.

+ Are they different for the PowerBoost Hybrid?

Yes. The PowerBoost Hybrid has unique chassis components. Please ensure you select the "PowerBoost" version if you have the Hybrid model, or the standard version for all other engines.

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
