I replaced the flex pipe and two clamps on my '99 this fall because it started to develop holes near the clamps. If you have a helper to hold the pipe in place as you tighten the clamps it is pretty easy. I only had some bricks as my helper so it was a bit more difficult to get the angle correct between the down pipe and mid-pipe. I recommend getting some exhaust paste (Permetex) to help seal the joint as well.
You can probably do better than $125. The Starla I used from Eeuroparts is $88, but I didn't care for the clamps that I bought from them. The clamps I bought on Amazon were better because it had the nut welded to the clamp and could tighten the clamp with one socket vs socket + wrench.
