Here in Central Ohio, thieves are hitting all of the storage lots. They can cut the converter out in less than two minutes, even in a Walmart parking lot. The CatClamp may not be perfect, but will certainly be a hefty deterrent. This should be a standard option for every owner.

Pretty good insurance for under $200.

Welcome to the club! Mine was stolen in November and they are still on back order from Ford (at least the one for my 2019 chassis). Latest estimated availability was Feb 8 but it’s been pushed back twice since I got in line. I was lucky to find one in stock locally just last week. Ford price is about $1700 plus another $50 for the oxygen sensor. It is a simple two bolt installation because it comes with several feet of pipe attached and includes the hangers. I looked at the Catclamp but I don’t see any way to keep it from rattling. I’m going to use a Catstrap with the optional undercarriage motion activated alarm. My insurance guy said he has a dozen claims pending and the police department said they had about 2 dozen cases in the few weeks prior to mine being stolen. RVs and pickup trucks being the most often pinched. We lost 6 from our storage lot when mine was hit. I’ve moved to a more secure lot now and hope it helps. Good luck!
