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 muffler and an exhaust?

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!

so changing your cat back doesnt make it sound any different, but changing the exhaust does?

no. the exhaust is the whole system, look at the pic. changing the muffler changes the sound. cat has nothing to do with sound. the cat is just for emmissions purpouses.
