Default Im confused: Cat-Back

Ok, so i have a Flo-pro exhaust system on my car, and i know that it doesnt have any catalytic converters on it. Its just the piping to the flo-pro muffler- then pipes off that to my tips. So my question is...

What EXACTLY is Cat-back, do i have a cat back? if not, what is mine considered and how could i make it a cat back. Just need some help on this topic, i never really understood it.

A catback is a kit that includes all the piping from the cats to the exhaust tips. So you would get a new intermediate pipe, muffler, tailpipes, tips, etc with a catback (no cats are included though).

So technically i have a cat back system.

I hear people saying they have High-flow cats. Im guessing that is the Catalytic converter.

yes you have a catback unless you have headers then its a complete exhaust and yes highflow cats are the catalytic converters

it means he took his cats out if yours are already out and you put them back in you will lose a little power but not much maybe 5 hp

Your car comes with cats from the factory and should still be there unless the previous owner removed them.
