Anybody ever try to weld in their own aftermarket CAT? I'm tired of paying some shop too much to weld in a cheap CAT. If I do my own, at least I have some input into what I'm buying.

I understand some aftermarket CATs look like the real deal but have very little actual meat inside. I want to find something halfway good.

I should add I'm not a highly experienced welder. Thinking about buying a used MIG welder to do this. I'll practice on scrap a lot before I attempt it.
