The time and money you spend are a big investment, and we want to help you make the best decision for your driving dreams. Typically, a cat-back exhaust system will increase your car’s horsepower by somewhere between 5 and 50 brake horsepower. This will vary greatly depending on the condition of your exhaust and engine, so you should ask your mechanic if getting a cat-back exhaust is the best way to improve the performance of your car.
Because the engine won’t generate as much fumes and doesn’t need to work as hard to eliminate or minimize the fumes, your car will run better, saving you mileage. A benefit like this will improve the longevity of your car and even save you money at the gas pump. At Bradley’s Auto Service in Red Bank, NJ, we can build a completely custom exhaust system for your vehicle, including cat-backs. We will work with you to create your exhaust exactly the way you want it, with any combination of look, sound, feel, power, or muffler at your fingertips.
From Overland Series to our all-new SPEQ Series, explore MagnaFlow's latest performance exhaust systems designed for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Aftermarket cat-back exhaust upgrades are a relatively simple way to increase your vehicle’s power. Typically these upgrades involve installing wider piping with fewer sharp or sudden bends as a way to reduce backpressure. Backpressure is pressure opposing the desired flow of exhaust gasses. The more you are able to reduce backpressure, the more efficient the system will be, and ultimately your horsepower will increase. Cat-back exhaust refers to any part of the exhaust system that’s behind the catalytic converter.
There are subtle changes on the outside to let onlookers know that this is no ordinary F-150, such as a custom dual-intake hood, a custom front fascia and grille combo, and Shelby badging. For the interior, Shelby adds carbon-fiber trim, billet racing pedals, custom floor mats, and a serialized plaque. For lean-burn spark-ignition engines, an oxidation catalyst is used in the same manner as in a diesel engine. Emissions from lean burn spark ignition engines are very similar to emissions from a diesel compression ignition engine. Upon failure, a catalytic converter can be recycled into scrap.
Less restrictive catalytic converters paired with a cat-back exhaust system will offer high performance and power. Though, the level of horsepower gained is not constant across all cat-back systems. It depends on the quality and performance of the catalytic converters. Because of the better flow of exhausts resulting from the mandrel-bent tubing and the larger diameter piping, cat-back exhaust systems manage to offer better performance. IE offers catback, downpipe, and midpipes upgrades to replace individual sections of your exhaust. Installing variations of these parts allows you to dial in your exhaust volume to your preference, from sporty to aggressive.

They are usually the last systems to get addressed by performance drivers, who put a majority of work into turbo systems or custom tunes.
Installation was easy, and the craftsmanship and welds are very high quality. Mishimoto exhausts are constructed of large diameter mandrel-bent pipes for maximum flow. Mishimoto exhausts are perfectly engineered to provide an aggressively rich tone with no annoying highway drone. In general, though, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1000 upwards for a good cat back exhaust system. That may seem like a lot of money, but keep in mind that a cat back exhaust can provide a significant boost to your car's performance and help it to stand out from the crowd. Typically a cat-back exhaust upgrade can be swapped with the original exhaust without any modifications.
This is the 3rd Gen Toyota Tundra Borla S-Type Cat Back Exhast with Chrome Dual Tips. Borla manufacturers some of the best Toyota Exhaust systems, and this S-Type 2022+ Tundra Exhaust is no different, featuring the Merge X-Pipe for increased performance adn improved sound.

Stand out from the crowd with a performance exhaust system that sounds great. Save big on that signature MBRP sound during Pick Up Your Sound.
Another difference is with the material used in the cat-back exhaust system against that in stock exhaust systems. But the problem with a resonator is that it can cause restriction to the flow of the exhausts. In the end, this can end up lowering your vehicle’s performance. It is also more affordable and easier to install than other types of exhaust systems, including the cat-back exhaust system. Cat-back and axle-back exhaust systems are both aftermarket exhaust systems. A performance exhaust system, like the cat-back exhaust, allows for easy splitting into dual exhaust.
Federal Catalytic Converters are not legal for sale, installation or use in the state of California. It should be noted that a split system will often provide an aggressive noise increase, and some designs will split the two pipes to opposite sides of the vehicle. If you are looking to save a little money but still get most of the benefits of a cat back exhaust system, however, aluminized steel may be the way to go. Made from traditional steel that’s been coated on all sides with aluminum-silicon alloy, these systems are very strong thanks to the metallurgical bond which still provides a level of corrosion resistance. While the aluminum coating reflects heat well, the steel can corrode if the aluminum layer is chipped or scraped off. Most cat-back systems will come in either an aluminized or stainless steel version.
Typically, that includes a mid-pipe, muffler, tailpipe and tips. Cat-backs generally yield increases in performance, due to the more efficient flow of exhaust through upgraded parts like larger diameter tubing and better flowing mufflers, as well as improved sound and reduced weight. For starters, the "cat" in catback exhaust system is short for "catalytic converter", a central part of your car’s emission control system, which cat back exhausts are fitted behind, hence the "back". This relatively simple mod helps to free up exhaust gas flow and improve the noise of your engine by swapping out part of your exhaust system with a specially designed
