Yes a catalytic converter can and will change the sound of a vehicle! The converters serve the purpose of lowering emissions in todays cars and kind of act like a resonator! The exhaust passes through a honeycomb style material thus reducing emmissions! It is against the law to remove them if the vehicle was originally equipped with one from the factory but if removed the vehicle will be louder!

Will a cat-back exhaust system increase the performance of the car even if you keep the standard catalistic converter?
Yes u will increase the preformance, but not by much. A cat back system reduces the back preassure caused by your stock exsust pipes. Usually a cat back system consists of a large in diameter pipe that extends from your catalitic converter to the back of your car. The aftermarket pipe used is quite large. The sound you get though is quite deep and throaty. However, only if your car is heavily modified wil you notice a significant difference in preformance.
