cat= catylitic converter, back= until the exhaust fumes leave the exhaust. A cat-back alone will not do a lot, but when combined with a header( it replaces the exhaust manifold) and a cool air intake, will.

it's basically the thing that makes your car sound buzzy like a bee! and yes it will give you power, but don't expect mirracles, it's an accord!
