ignorant ricers

[7000rpmisheaven]

I was thinking about the term cat-back and decided that I don't like it. I was speaking with a guy from the ricer crowd. In our conversation he says "I'm getting a cat-back." So I say "What." I wanted to know which cat-back system he was getting. He repeats "I'm getting a cat-back." I guess he thought that cat-back was the brand name or something.

So then I started thinking. What does catback mean? Welll when i got my flowmaster cat-back system, I got two mufflers and the tailpipes. If cat-back means everything from the cats back than isn't that just the mufflers and tailpipes. Why make up the word "cat-back" so that you can say "mufflers and tailpipes"

I know this is odd but everytime i hear someone say cat-back I tmakes me think of all the ricers out there. And especially that one who was telling me about how he is going to get "A cat-back" and "naaws"

Don't forget about the intermediate pipes! They are back of the cat's as well. :)

And what about those of us that don't have cats? What would you call it then????????

I was thinking the same thing. I'd guess you'd call it "smarter no-cat":D
