Maybe I'm exaggerating + certainly one won't always save much... but in that particular case, the exhaust had multiple rotten sections + needed a full replacement including the cat (already had a rotted out hack job welded joint on the cat)... I called a couple places + just the parts were adding up to close to $800. The muffler was $300 and the cat was more. I bought a full oem system from eeuro for $300 including the cat + shipping to my door (this was about 2 years ago)... Obviously there was some local markup going on! I probably could have shopped around more + got a better price locally but that takes time also... in the end it was probably good I did that job myself as the heat shield was rusted through also... it meant I was able to tackle that one properly rather than having it not get done, or done as a hack job (there is a trick on that in a c900).
When the exhaust finally goes in the 9-5 I will take a similar approach, though I think there are some decent bolt together stainless systems for the 9-5, so I will likely ditch the OEM at that point... those 2 oem mufflers are not cheap, though they do seem to last pretty well.
Not a fun job though. Messy + uncomfortable.
