Do it yourself man it's really simple. I'm going to put mine on this weekend I'll post pics to help you out if you want to wait and do them youself. What kind of headers are they? If fitted correctly to the TL(Comptech Alphaworks usually OBX) you could probably get a auto machine shop to do it for around $100.

$150-200 seems reasonable. Shop around a bit more to see if you can find a price better than $200, but it really isn't a long job for someone who knows what they are doing.
It can be a royal pain to remove the old exhaust if your car is more than 1 year old and you live in the rust belt (ie. your car sees snow and salt roads). Nothing would be more annoying than getting to the last bolt, stripping it due to rust and then having to learn how to remove it by other means. If you know how to do this type stuff, then it really is an easy install.
There are already write-ups on the install, though theres not really much to it. The instructions that come w/ the Comptech headers are very good IMO. There are just a few hints as to how to get to bolts and stuff like that...heres a link to Austin's Cardomain page.
