Two basic types: catback and axleback. Axleback is simply mufflers that you clamp or weld on in place of your mufflers. This is done purely for sound.

Catback replaces everything from the catalytic converters back through the mufflers. Many replace the 2.25'' tubing with 2.5''. They may produce a slight horsepower gain, but nothing major, and they also change the sound as well.

Once you decide which of those two you want, the rest becomes personal preference on what you think sounds good.
