What is a catback?

A catback refers to the exhaust system on a car that lies between the catalytic converter and the muffler. This type of system is often used to replace the original exhaust system on a vehicle for several reasons, primarily to enhance performance and create a more impressive sound. A catback will typically include a larger-diameter piping and a high-performance muffler designed to reduce backpressure and enhance the flow of exhaust gases, leading to increased horsepower and torque. Most catback systems are made of stainless steel, which helps prevent corrosion and rust. When shopping for a catback, it is important to ensure it is designed for your specific make and model of vehicle to ensure proper fitment and performance improvements.
