Turbo back = Downpipe, midpipe, and muffler + a little section of pipe
CatBack = Muffler + a little section of pipe

oh.. so it's saying where it starts from..
thanks mike..

Yeah, but where it starts from makes a BIG difference. Cat backs are good mainly for sound only, plus you'll still be legal. Most Turbo-backs will give you sound AND performance, but may be illegal if you're messing with the stock cats.

..... about $500 .......

More seriously, even a catback will improve power as the stock system is very restrictive. The more of the original system you remove, generally the more you increase power and noise!
