The exhaust from the h-pipe back is called "catback exhaust" no matter what you have for a in front of it. Thats just what it's called. It doesn't mean you have cats on your car. I guess you and lizzyfan can be cute together and call it cat-less-back if you want.

catback...is in fact from the cat's back.
off road h's and x's are without the cats.

First off, he says it's from the cat's back. Yes that's correct, but for someone that is askin this question has no understandings of what this actually means. The average dumbass that has no idea if this includes the cats or not? (not saying your a dumbass) How do I know that you realize that? I didn't contradict myself as I stated perfectly clear that a catback exhaust does no include the cats. The phrase itself "cat-back" for the non car guy would think it includes cats! Just for giggles, I asked my wife who is somewhat knowledgeable on cars what she thought "catback" meant and she it is your catalytic converters to your mufflers! So, don't say I'm the wise cracker if your the one asking the question and I'm trying to describe it to the tee. If you can't handle it, I suggest not asking such a silly question and do a search before you ask!

J/K about the cute thing, just poking fun.
You're right. Just replacing mufflers and tips, would be called that. Catback usually comes together in a kit with pipes, mufflers, and tips.
I think everyone is on the same page on this one just might be saying it differently.

RE: What is a Catback Exhaust??
Don't sweat it bro. Cause I have headers toH-pipe to quiet flows and exiting 2.5inch tips I call that an "offroad" system. I have NO cats.I always assumed a catback system meant any hardware "after or proceeding the MOTHERF@#$ING catalytic converter". It seems to make sense, no? I thought guys bought these to get the sound they wanted but were still smog legal with the converters on. And I've been flamed way worse, you're a lightweight
...I notice more LS1 cars seem to go with catback than stangs do. Just something that struck me is all.
