cat back: means that the exhaust installs from the catalytic convertor back.
turbo back: means that the exhaust installs from the downpipe(or turbo if you get a new downpipe) back.

A cat back exhaust system runs from the catolitic converter to the rear of the truck. A turbo back system runs from the turbo all the way to the rear of the truck.
