On my way home from work yesterday, while sitting at a red light clutch revving, I couldn't help but fixate my eyes on a passing kid in an all white Cabrio. I laughed because some of my ancestors were German, and I was driving my Civic, while this japanese kid was driving a Cabrio...

This Cabrio was sweet. He has some 18s at the wheel with a custom exhaust, im sure it was catbacked all the way to the engine by its sound, and the entire car was white... all the way down to the steering wheel. He had a white hat and a white tee-shirt on too... kinda made me wonder if maybe on Friday nites we should match our cars... hmmmmm.....

Then it wouldn't be a cat-back would it.

No, you see... the catback exhaust begins at the catalytic converter, and ends through the exhaust from the muffler. But his also had a large bore system with probably 3.5 inch piping to the exhaust headers...

Why do you like to bust my balls? Nothing better to do?

A cat-back exhaust system is just what the name says, all the exhaust components from the catalytic converter and back. If it, like you said, "was catbacked all the way to the engine " there wouldn't be a catalytic converter, and thus not a cat-back system.

And by the way, what do you mean by “piping to the exhaust headers”?
