You get what you pay for, spend the little extra and take it to Icon or G-force and have it done right the first time or you'll spend even more fixing it. I havent seen to many good results from local muffler shops, my car and several friends being examples of that.

Do it yourself then 
Its not difficult work, but it can be time consuming to get everything to fit just right. Muffler shops will install them for 50-60 bucks, but the tips will probably be crooked, it'll probably rub/bang on the bottom of the car, etc. We've all seen it a hundred times.
Like the man said, you get what you pay for.

$150 is a good price to get it done right. I installed mine in my driveway and it was a pain in the ***. It wasn't hard, just tedious going back and forth getting the fit right.

On second thought, my Dad and I might go up to his retired buddy's house in the country. He ran his own shop for ~30 years or so. He has a lift and pretty much everything else we'd need.
