Default Exhaust problems, HELP

i recently bottomed out my 99 dakota, offroading. I pretty much messed up my whole exhaust set. i now have a massive leak n went to a monro muffler place to see what i can get. im going to upgrade to an performance exhaust. The total would come around 750 becuz my cross/ or y shaped exhasut peice is messed up and needs replaced. where can i find a stock one to put on. if i find one for less the 200 id be happy becuz then i wouldnt be getting ripped off from monro. and also if you think 750 is way expensive for a performance kit and y peice. let me no please.
and by the way its not a named brand system, its "there special brand"

get a new y pipe built. It helps with flow than you can also get a nice upgrade on top of that.

dont buy a new anything. cut the flanges that bolt up at the end of your y off then just get some pipe and weld from there on in true dual fashion. its simple, cheap, performance oriented, and well, awesome.
