Getting it fitted will cost at least that much again. Be careful where you go though! The joker that I got to fit mine quoted 3hrs labour. The car ended up off the road for 3 days and the joker charged £380! I'm still in recovery.

Got a magnex one from here for £30 + £5 P&P second hand from here!! 
I thought it was a pain to fit though, you have to take either the turbo off or the headers to fit it. The turbo came off with mine as the downpipe and turbo heat shield were already off.

Easiest way to fit one is to undo the offside engine mount and jack the engine up a bit to gain a bit more space up through to the turbo-no need to remove the turbo.
Also,fit new studs to the up pipe if it hasnt got them on it allready(you can get them at your local exhaust shop),as you'll be very lucky if you can get the old ones out.
The whole job took me about 6 hours to fit up & downpipes,including sourcing new studs.
Oh yea-dont forget to lag it.
