are no fun... that said, I live in the salt belt + was spending too much on exhaust repair. stuff would rust + break + it was costly. This might be even more true for the 9-5, but anyway, on the c900, I solved the problem by installing one myself. The entire cat back system + a cat cost about the same as a muffler installed locally! And the whole system was rotting. I can replace the entire cat back on that car for less than driving it through the door of a muffler shop...
but... it is a horribly unpleasant diy project... how much is your time worth? For me it was worth it (I'm young enough that lying on my back with grime and heavy stuff falling on me for half a day to save $500 is ok), but something to consider... So I agree Rob, it is key to evaluate that time/$ ratio before getting into a project.
