I need opinions on my exhaust options...
So i have a pretty big exhaust leak on the piece that is from the cat to the muffler. I called a few places up and the replacement part is around 60 dollars, I know the gap from 60 bucks to like 200 for full exhaust is pretty big but on ebay i found some that seem like they would be ok for the price, another thing is that I don't want to buy a piece of the exhaust if i ever decide to do exhaust on it. What do you guys think, and if you know of any cheap but still relatively good quality exhaust option then I would appreciate it. Thanks.

IMO, and I know a lot of people won't agree with me, is to fix it with some DIY stuff and save your money for a NICE exhaust. 60 is a bit steep for getting it fixed and then putting on a cat back if you're looking at buying a "Bomz racing exhaust."
I suggest getting some exhaust tape or JB weld and fixing it the best you can get away with. Save up for something that doesn't sound like crap, gives you good flow, and has some build quality. One of the finest things about a good exhaust is mandrel bent stainless steel. Great flow for the car and it won't rust (hopefully it will last a long old time).
I also think another good way to go would be just fix it for $60. It won't be too bad to have the stock exhaust sitting around if you ever want to sell your car.
Either way if you're going to get a cat back system, or any kind of aftermarket exhaust, don't skimp, get something good. If it takes a few months of saving to get there take your time fix your current exhaust so it doesn't cause you problems and then do it to it!
Good luck, hope I provided you with some kind of insight

I found a few options on ebay, the only concern i have is that they wouldn't directly bolt to the stock piece or if I might need to get something ade since it would be going from like 1 3/4" or whatever the stock size is to 2.5". Here are the ones I found:

I know they're cheap knock offs but I dont really want to spend a lot of money considering my car doesn't even make 100 hp

Don't buy them, it's better to save and get something of better quality, trust me. I'd say you either get your current system fixed or have a muffler shop fab something up for you, I've heard of people having them built for around $100 or so.
