It depends on the application and proper tubing sizing. A properly sized exhaust will net some form of gain, but don't pay much attention to the manufacturer's claims. The average performance gain off of cat-back only for an all-motor application is generally 4-7 horsepower and torque, at best. Turbocharged vehicles can net much more power and better response when upgraded from stock to a larger free-flowing cat-back. For practically ANY performance application, all-motor or otherwise, a cat-back upgrade is a MUST, though.

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.

Can you upgrade to CAT5e enhanced from CAT5 without rewiring house?
Cat 5 and Cat 5e are discriptions of the wire. Therefore if you wanted to upgrade you would have to change the wiring. In a home use the increase in performance really wouldn't be of any advantage. Personally I don't feel even in a business performance that it is cost effectived to upgrade cost versus the performance gain is not worth it. If you had say cat 3 sure going to cat 5 would be well worth it. Stick with the cat 5 heck most computer equipment don't have the capability to use all the capacity of the cat 5

Does a cat back exhaust increase horsepower?
That term refers to the portion of the exhaust from the catalytic converter on back to where it ends at the rear of the vehicle. They generally use larger pipe than the stock system. Good systems will have mandrel-bent turns that allow the exhaust gas pass with as little back pressure as possible. The mufflers in these kits are often glasspacks to reduce back pressure. It is more of a improvement in sound than performance, it will help achieve a deeper sound that is lacking in small displacement engines and improves horsepower very little. An improvement is there but hardly worth the cost as a performance upgrade.
How do you increase the weight of a cat?

Location for o2 sensor in 2002 Chevy s10?
It is located on the exhaust pipe after the catalytic converter. Depending on which engine you have, there can be several O2 sensors. The one after the cat only monitors the performance of the cat. The ones before the cat effect the performance of the engine.
Can you get your cat back if you have sold it?
No, you have sold you cat and it is no longer yours. Unless whoever you sold it to offers it back (you will probably have to give them back their money if this happens) then you can not get your cat back.
