RogerB and path914,
Thanks for the assist on providing the definition of Catback. I did think that it meant "exhaust system from the catalytic converter all the way to the back" but figured there was the remote possibility that it also meant:
1. Complete exhaust system except for the y-pipe where the stock catalytic converter is replaced with one that creates less back pressure.
2. Complete exhaust system where the catalytic converter is moved further back from the engine.
Item #1 makes sense only because everybody talks about installing a Catback system to increase performance. Reducing backpressure certainly would help performance. I'm pretty sure that item #2 is not smart because if I remember correctly, a certain amount of exhaust heat is necessary for the converter to work properly. Moving the converter further away from the motor would cool it down.
