2nd Generation Need help/info with Gen 2 exhaust

I searched the forums for exhaust info, but I couldn't find the info that I needed.

I have a 1990 Camry DX (I-4 3SFE) and I have been replacing my stock exhaust approx. every 18 months (I have replaced the exhaust twice so far) because of holes caused by rust. I have a new hole in my exhaust and I am tired of paying $350-$400 to have a new header & connector pipe installed. Are there any bolt-on exhaust solutions out there that won't rust (stainless, I guess)? How much do they cost? Where can I get them? Are they difficult to install?

I'm not really looking for performance or sound upgrades. I'm just looking for an exhaust system that won't rust on me next winter and doesn't cost too much. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 1991 camry. I changed the exhaust. I went to Pepboys and got an exhaust from there. I paid 45 for it and then I got it welded on for 25.

I will swing by Pep Boys and see what they can do for me tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion, 1991_camry.

Stopped by the local exhaust place and they wanted $267 to replace the down pipe. $200 in parts, $45 in labor, $10 in accessories, and $12 in tax. I'm still hoping that someone out there has some info about how to fix this problem long term.
