You're better off using the OEM parts by a long shot. You can order the center pipe/muffler as a preassembled part from Sobstory. Ditto for the muffler. If you go to Midas/Meineke, they will install it however they feel like doing it and overcharge you to boot. Here as some of the things they did on my 9000 exhaust: 1) cut the flange on the rear muffler off and used a clamp to secure the center section around the muffler pipe (I got the clamp off, but the muffler is so rusted on to the center section it wouldn't come off). 2) welded new supports so they could use a center muffler they had in stock. 3) reused the old rubber hangers since they don't stock the OEM hangers.
If you don't mind jacking up the rear of the car and crawling under, install it yourself. It's very easy. Second best choice is to find someone who is willing to install the OEM parts you provide.
