I'm pretty sure that a cat-back exhaust and a full cat [back] exhaust is the same thing. It just means that the piping from the catalytic converter on back is included in the entire exhaust system.

If you mean an axle back, that just basically means you're getting only the muffler.

If I missed anything else, I'm sure another member can clarify the rest...

full cat back means all the piping from the cat converter to the muffler. axle back is just the muffler.

Just more flow with a cat-back.

Axle backs or universal mufflers tend to be louder as well.
