Catback is just the centre section and backbox

Decat is a small tubular section to go in place of the cat.

Engine > exhaust manifold> Downpipes > cat/decat > centre section > backbox

Catback is literally from the cat back

Get the decats if you can - you can allways put back the cats for the NCT.
Decats = slightly better performance and much better sound.

I have it up seeing what i get offered more than anything, but not too pushed to be honest. I'll keep working away on it. the more i do the less I'll want to sell it ha ha
