A cat-back exhaust replace all pipes starting at the cat convertor and going back. I've seen car craft magazine call it an "after-cat" system.

catco? If he wants to spend $100-150 more than he should on a convertor, that's his perogative.

I picked up a Catco and it only coast me $89.00 I was happy with. ware do you get $150.00 from? As with anything if you don't look around for a good price you will most likly end up paying more.

After all the stock ones coast anyware between $69.00 and $79.00 . The extra $10 - $20 was no big deal!! I haven't had any experience with any others, but I was very happy with the Catco.

The convertor we use is a 2.5", flanged ball outlet, slip-fit inlet. It's the common V8 convertor. If you do a search for "Catco" and "TomP", you'll find what I used to search for a cat on summit racing.

[edit] Screwed up "inlet" for "outlet", it's correct now!
