hey guys. well, i been saving up lots of money and i wanna start navigating at some simple bolt ons and stuff for my celica, but i had some questions before i start buying stuff.

whats the difference between a catback exhaust and just an exhaust??

also, which one of the three above do people put on their cars to make it roarr?

and finally, whats the diff between a short ram intake and a cold air intake? also are there different kinds of intakes i havent mentioned? which is the best?

thanks for helping me out guys, thanks!

the muffler is part of the exhaust system... it does what it is called.. muffles or quiets down the noise of the exhaust gasses making their way out of your engine "even though it can amplify the noise as well"

catback is short for catalytic converter back so the exhaust piping from the cat back would be replaced

some people just change out their muffler for a folger's can style and get the rice factor(just a whole lotta loud noise) they are looking for.. usually at a muffler/exhaust shop the guys selling the stuff will be pretty honest about what kind of system would be most helpful to your situation

if you are'nt sure of something try using the search feature and you can avoid some of the scrutiny that noobs normally get

for the short ram this is from the info articles on the home page http://6gc.net/index.php?action=information&itu=11


do a search on cold air intake and you would get click me
