Not sure if that one is compatible with the L exhaust, but you should be able to get the mid pipe flange rewelded for cheap to match it if not. Might want to check before ordering.

I just went to a good muffler shop and had them crush bend a 2.5" catback for my 98 Outback (the stock one was literraly falling apart 
). I just brought them OBX (eBay) muffler, resinator and flanges, they did the rest. All said and done it cost me about $200-ish(?)...but that was also 2+ years ago

Nothing that fancy I believe it is the one --> Product Name - OBX Racing Sports
You can readily get any of the OBX ones for $40-50...and even less if you are patient for a sale. Their quality and design is more than sufficient for a daily NA application.

These guys said they can install a Magnaflow muffler for $300 (parts/labor). Should I go for it? Exhaust System

$300 sounds normal...but $150 of that is the muffler and $150 is the labor. Magnaflow makes nice products, but I personally could not justify +$100 premium over the OBX-type one for our cars.Other things to consider...are they going to weld the piping straight onto your cat/header or put a flange for easier servicing? And are you planning on running a header at any point in the future? If you are, flanges are definitely a must and just a muffler won't be sufficient to reduce the sound to tolerable levels. As me how I know
You will want a mid-pipe resinator as well...2.5RS headers fit on 2.5L Legacy engines (I am running one)...I wouldn't be srprised if the 2.5RS exhaust systems did as well.

Why does every exhaust shop pushes Magnaflow? Seriously... $300 sounds normal...but $150 of that is the muffler and $150 is the labor. Magnaflow makes nice products, but I personally could not justify +$100 premium over the OBX-type one for our cars.
