A catback is simply what it says..A catback.

It's an aftermarket exhaust system custom-fitted for your application that bolts in from the cat converter back.Pretty simple to install.The main reason that they're better is because most aftermarket mufflers flow better than OEM's.Gibson has some of the best catbacks that I know of.

Very simple to install, and they make a noticeable difference. I had a Gibson on my 98 Ranger 3.0L and I can't wait to put one on my new truck....
