Title says it all. What is a cat back and how does it work?

cat is short for catylitic converter which is right under the shifter at the bottom of the car. Cat back exhaust starts after the converter to the tip. This way you don't have to mess around with the catylitic converter which by the way is made to get real hot to burn off gases for emitions purposes. Hope that answers your question. Dont feel to bad everyone has to start somewhere.
Cool. I was just wondering. Everyone keeps talking about them, but I had no clue. Thanks for the help. But I did know what a catylitic converter is.
Well here's a pic of the custom catback I had made for my car. And that fat part of the piping towards the top of the pic almost at the end of the piping, is the stock resonator.
