Demystifying Exhaust Systems: Front Pipe Back vs Cat Back vs. Turbo Back" 27WON Performance

In layman’s terms, a catback exhaust system provides a smoother, more streamlined path for exhaust gases to exit your car, allowing your engine to work more efficiently. When catalytic converters were first introduced, 280z headers most vehicles used carburetors that provided a relatively rich air-fuel ratio. Oxygen (O2) levels in the exhaust stream were therefore generally insufficient for the catalytic reaction to occur efficiently.
Considering cat-back exhausts replace more restrictions, they typically offer increased performance and noise compared to axle-back systems
