The only way that's a 3-piece setup is if they're counting the band-clamp and the bolt.
The Limited system is a proper cat-back, with a flange connector and everything. And as expected, it's cheaper (bigger market, more widgets)
I am astonished, however, that they basically cloned the preexisting design for the Limited, chopped off some material, and charged more. If this was a radical redesign, sure -- but they essentially used the same jig, with larger piping.
For $350, I'd consider it. For $700, I'll buy my own muffler and pay someone to design a mean set of tips.
