Vanspeed Sprinter Defender Catalytic Converter Guard for 2019+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Stop Catalytic Converter Theft Before It Happens — Built Tough, Engineered Precise
The Vanspeed Sprinter Defender Catalytic Converter Guard is a heavy-duty, precision-engineered theft deterrent designed specifically for the 2019+ Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. With catalytic converter theft affecting over 15,000 vehicles annually, this guard delivers the protection your Sprinter needs without sacrificing clearance for existing accessories or modifications.
Constructed from ⅛" thick 5052 aluminum — with up to ¼" thickness in critical impact zones — this multi-piece assembly is CNC cut, bent, and welded in Huntington Beach, CA for exact fitment. It mounts using a combination of dedicated brackets and OEM chassis bolt locations, meaning no drilling, no guessing, and no compromised structural integrity.
Designed to work alongside your existing Vanspeed Side Steps, OEM driveshaft cover, D-ring hardware, and aftermarket hot water hose routing, the Sprinter Defender fits cleanly into your van's undercarriage setup without requiring modifications to your current build.
Key Features
✔ Heavy-Duty 5052 Aluminum Construction
Built from ⅛" thick 5052 aluminum with reinforced ¼" thickness in high-impact areas, this guard resists cutting tools and crowbars that thieves commonly use — making theft significantly more difficult and time-consuming.
✔ CNC Cut, Bent & Welded for Precise Fitment
Every component is CNC machined in Huntington Beach, CA to ensure exact dimensional accuracy. The result is a guard that fits flush with your Sprinter's undercarriage without gaps, rattles, or pressure points.
✔ Compatible with Multiple Catalytic Converter Configurations
Fits catalytic converter part numbers A9064902614 and A9074904601, as well as OEM driveshaft covers and D-ring hardware — covering a wide range of 2019+ Sprinter configurations.
✔ Works with Vanspeed Side Steps & Aftermarket Accessories
Engineered to pair seamlessly with VNSPD005 and VNSPD006 Vanspeed Side Steps, and accommodates hot water system hose routing for aftermarket heating systems — no adjustments needed.
✔ Uses OEM Mounting Points — No Drilling Required
The guard installs using a combination of custom brackets and existing OEM chassis bolt locations. No modification to your van's frame is required, keeping your warranty and structural integrity intact.
✔ Made in the USA
Designed, fabricated, and assembled in Huntington Beach, California — built to the same exacting standards as every Vanspeed product.
Built for Real-World Van Life & Work Fleets
