Cost of used 996 mufflers/work to get them installed in the GTA?

My ‘99 996 C2 mufflers are rusted at the seam, and have internal rattles. I had Gtek have a look at them, and was told the internal baffles have come loose and mufflers need to be replaced. Went to a few other muffler repair shops hoping for a possible repair instead, but all recommended replacement.
So now I’m in the market for a used set of mufflers, hoping to find them locally in the GTA.
How much should I expect to pay for a used OEM set in good condition?
And how much should I expect to pay a shop to get them installed? Gtek previously quoted me around $200 just for the muffler clamps, hardware etc and $350 for the labour, for just one muffler. Does that seem like the going rate for this job?
Thanks in advance!

It's hard to say how much effort it is, with rusty falling apart exhaust, it can be a 15 minute job if you can bolt up to something clean or a several hour job if you have to fab in new pipes or get into somewhere awkward.

Thanks everyone! I visited several muffler shops including D&D, Quick Muffler, and Hot Rod Scotts - none would repair loose baffles, and all recommended replacement instead.
Also checked out the GT3 mufflers on fb marketplace, but they wouldn't fit in my narrow body c2.
Going to check out a shop selling some used sets this weekend. $1100 for a 'mint set' and $700 for a 'condition you'd expect from 20+ year old mufflers' are def a bit more steep, but looks like the price I might have to pay to get them locally.

I ordered a set of 997 muffler from them and got them in GTA within 3 days. They are good quality and reasonably priced including shipping and import duty.

I like the one produced by FVD Brombacher, specifically the "Sound" version. Ships from Germany, so no duties!

I have a set off my old 04 C4S. Im in Calgary Alberta tho so shipping might kill the deal but I would take $400 for them (not sure what shipping/packaging/ect would cost). But again maybe since the c4s is widebody it may not fit your car.
Just an option.

But I'll keep that in mind, if I ever want to get the mod done to my next replacement.

Are you positive the gt3 mufflers won't fit your c2? One of the guys locally bought the mufflers off the 996 gt3 from Pfaff and is running them in his otherwise stock 996.1 c2.
Unfortunately they don't do any muffler repairs, only modifications to ones in good working condition.
But I'll keep that in mind, if I ever want to get the mod done to my next replacement.
I'll check them out if I ever decide to buy new!
The wide body mufflers won't fit my narrow body, unfortunately. Thanks though!

He might have new or good condition used.

Thankfully no exhaust leaks on mine yet and just an annoying baffle rattle, but I'd rather address it sooner than later if it's gonna have to be done anyways.
