This RCI guard protects the exposed catalytic converters on the Ram 1500 and makes them harder to steal. It is CNC laser cut from 12 gauge steel, vented for airflow and heat dissipation, with a smooth, flat face that slides over obstacles. It is meant to ride with the RCI transmission skid plate and ties in with RCI engine, transmission and transfer case skids. Once installed, it cannot be removed without taking the skid plates off first.
Highlights: 12 gauge CNC laser-cut steel covers exposed catalytic converters; Sold as a pair, driver and passenger; Vented for airflow and heat dissipation; Ties in with RCI engine, transmission and transfer case skids; Hardware included.
