So a catalytic converter and a catback are two different things then right? Yes they are... I think so anyway. But just want to be sure.

Go to Pontiac.com and look at the GTO photo's of the bottom of the car (Photo Gallery). It's a true dual that crosses over and exits out one side. It has two, precats or resonator, then two cats., then two muffers.

Yes. The catback is everything after that all the way to the exhaust tips.

Re: What is a catback?

OK, so a Loudmouth exhaust, for instance, is really a "cat back" mod right? and all it consists of is an "Intermediate Pipe" a resonator, and tail pipes? Correct?
