why a custom built converter isn't for everyone....

I did it "WRONG", but it is right for me. I bought an unused PTC 8" off of Marketplace for a good price. I asked the seller what he had it built for, and it was a similar cubic inch and weight as my build.

I know it will not be a perfect match, and if it is way off. I can send it in for a restall and still be money ahead. This works for me to at least get on the road.

I am glad that some are able to do it right the first time, but for some of us that is not possible, so we do the best we can with what we have.

That is what is great about this hobby, you can have fun with whatever fits your situation, and appreciate what others have done too.

There’s not a damn thing wrong with what you did. You bought something CLOSE, and if it’s not close enough you can get it tuned up and still save some money.

But, if you bought a converter for a blown alcohol Hemi and expected it to work in your 408 that would be insane. Much like this entire thread.

I spend way too much time unscrewing guys who read crap like this post and then do it wrong. I see how many guys leave the “hobby” because of threads just like this. The wasted time and money is staggering. The frustration of guys ending up with something they didn’t swans because a guy has a YouTube channel so they think he’s legit.

I gets frustrating unscrewing something that shouldn’t be a question any more. Unless you set up a straw man so that at every turn you can take him down and remake him.

Ridiculous really.
