Not to nail you to the wall with the "Read the stickies" bit, but it is literally at the top of that sticky.

There are a few things that are considered advantages.
Pipe collectors, Pipe Size, Pipe Route...ect. That link should fill you in about as well as I can as well.

Usually the cat back has better looking tips and larger diameter pipe.

Mufflers are usually gonna be your restriction. However, magnaflow makes a nice crisp muffler that is a lot more tasteful sounding...it is stainless steel to boot. So it will never look like crap if you care about that type of thing as well.
