As some of you know, I'm the noob who has been asking how to learn about cars and what not, but I thought this was the proper area for the question.

What I know:
Catback is from the Catalytic Converter all the way to the muffler
Axle Back starts near the rear axle or something..

Can some please explain the difference in detail for my noob-self?

Thanks.

theres no explaining left to do...you hit it right on the head. the only difference is where the piping starts.

I don't see how the piping can start from the rear axle? How the hell does it get to the exhaust headers from the rear axle? That's where I'm confused.

with most exhaust systems, there are two pieces of piping. there is piping starting at the cat and going to the rear axle, then a pipe running from the rear axle to the muffler. when you get a axle-back exhaust, you will only be replacing the axle-back part of the exhaust. you would still keep the stock cat-to-axle piping.
