That'* what I was thinking. Cat back is everything behind the cat, so when you said muffler back I was thinking you put new tips on.

Our downpipes don't have as much of a restriction as say a W body. The biggest restriction is the front exhaust manifold. A Plog may be a better investment if you are looking to free up the exhaust.

It might, but don't expect anything noticeable from it...except a slightly louder exhaust.
