"cat" = catalytic converter.

A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device which converts toxic byproducts of
combustion in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine to less toxic substances by way of catalyzed
chemical reactions. The specific reactions vary with the type of catalyst installed. Most present day
vehicles that run on gasoline are fitted with a 'three-way' converter, so named because it converts the
three main pollutants in automobile exhaust: carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen.
The first two undergo catalytic combustion and the last is reduced back to nitrogen. (Wikipedia)

The cats are located in the front pipe and header.

Efferalgan · 12-02-2013, 03:44 PM

Cat is usually installed in the frontpipe

Pictures may help. As BRZTimeTrials stated, there are two catalytic converters on the stock FR-S/BRZ ..... one is a part of the header system and the other one is that fat ugly thing in the front pipe.
