From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Exhaust terms, TBE = Turbo back means from the turbo housing back. Cat back means you attached an exhaust to you kitty and he isn't happy about it...

...CBE = from your catalytic converter back.

Read the stickies in this forum for terms and modding tips.

sweet so turbo back it is i guess that will be my first mod to my car what about after that i think i will stick with the rims and tires for now and mainly focus on tuning it to get the most out of the car for cheap that why i really wanna know about what i can do simply by bolt on and a tune it seems with a tune the car can improve alot what can i buy to custom tune my car in my garage at home

you really don't need a tune with an exhaust ( if you want full performance than yes) but for me i waited till i got a few things before i got the tune.
