Best Answer

Catback is shortened slang for "everything back from the catalytic converter". It is a bolt on exhaust which connects to the rear of the pipe holding the catalytic converter, and ends with the muffler and exhaust tip. In short, you need a cat to have a catback.

There are no differences. High flow catalytic converters are not really high flow; the catalytic converters you have on your vehicle are as high flow as you need them to be. A "high" flow converter will either be of a larger diameter, or the inside is made in such a way that there is less restriction to exhaust flow.


How do you change a Volvo 240 catalytic converter?

Working on the exhaust system is a job best left to a professional. You will save very little by doing it yourself. Have the catalytic converter tested to be sure you need a new one. Catalytic Converters are very expensive so you do not want to replace a good one. If it is bad you need to find out why it went bad. Things like a miss on a cylinder from a bad plug or a defective O2 sensor will ruin the converter. Also a burnt exhaust valve will destroy the converter.

The catalytic converter is usually held in place by a set of clamps located at the front and rear of the unit. These clamps tie the unit to the exhaust system.
