A cat-back is everything in the exhaust system behind the catalytic converter(s). This includes the intermediate pipe, the over-axle pipe, the muffler and the outlets (tailpipes). You can exploit this area by using a larger diameter intermediate pipe (usually 2 1/2 or 3 inch) and/or a high-flow muffler. There are tons of companies to choose from. If you want the best and have the money, get Borla. If you are on a budget, get Dynomax. There are also companies in between like Flowmaster and SLP that make really nice systems.

Ahhhh, I get it. I take it you should have a high flow cat to go along with it.
