Well, cat back goes from the catlytic converter back. Now if the diameter of the piping stays the same as stock with new mufflers there should be a minimal increase in power. But if you do bigger piping, you would gain power but loose some torque in the process.

I would get the cat-back systems. There are many nice cat-backs for our cars...but this is on your own personal taste.

Here's my Tanabe raised and extended to be flush with the rear bumper. They are loud when stock, I added a resonator so they now sound mean!!!

Which exhausts sound deep and muscle-car like with the most HP gain and what are all of the application choices for our cars?
