catback question
This may be a dumb question but you never know until you ask. What is meant by "catback" when discussing exhaust systems? Thanks.

Most aftermarket systems these days are made to bolt on to the rear of the factory catalytic converters, thus remaining smog legal. Hence the term 'cat-back.'
