I need some help badly ASAP!

So I am soon to do my emissions in Maryland and a couple weeks ago my exhaust fell off so now I am rushing to get new exhaust on top of other things I have to fix... Can someone help me with a good after market exhaust that is fairly cheap?(I'm going after market because dealer wants $1300 for stock exhaust) I have looked everywhere I am a little effie about some of them. Does anyone have links they trust where I can buy hopefully today? (2006 Cobalt 2.4 2 Door)
Thank you very much in advanced!

Take the car to a local muffler/exhaust shop and have them put a system on it, will be much cheaper and quicker. Even if you buy a stock system, it's all one piece and will have been cut when removed, so you will have to take it to be welded anyway.

Thats a good idea as well.

If your wanting a performance exhaust that bolts right on with ease, the ZZP 2.5" catback with the resonator is the way to go. Best sounding exhaust ive ever heard, quiet, mellow, and fits perfectly.

Gmpp touring was discontinued. Not the "performance" version. Even the performance version sounds amazing. Just wish piping wasn't so small

if you can get a stock exhaust from someone, its cheap to get it welded up. the exhaust i bought from a member on here had 4 cuts, and maybe the shop was desperate for work, but they only charged me 50 bucks to get it welded up. fitament is better than my corsa exhaust was as well.

im willing to bet all the gmpp's are discontinued. whats left out there for sale is just whats left. it was the same way in 2011 for the corsa exhaust. everyone wanted and still wants the touring exhaust, but the sports were still for sale. try to find either now. it will be the same way for the gmpp performance soon also.

its all a wash at the end of the day though. at least for me. i went from a megan exhaust to catless megan, to catless corsa touring, back to catless stock. i dont think ill ever put a bolt on aftermarket catback exhaust on my car again

On a big blower car, swapping from the GMPP to a 3" was good for 4whp. Not a problem IMO, especially considering the sound penalty.

I disagree with that, but everyone has their own taste.
