Squeaking while driving

Hey guys, I've searched all over on ToyotaNation to find the answer but to no avail.

I've been getting some really loud squeaking when I drive. The assholes at the NTB shop here wanted to charge me hundreds to do a diagnostic. Well, f' that! I got on their case about it and finaly their manager (the only cool one there) took a look under the car and told me right away that I need new exhaust bearings. Something about the friction causing the squeaking? I'm not sure. He told me I had to get that done at the dealership, but I've heard they usually charge too much. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

There is no such thing as exhaust bearings. Somebody was pulling your leg.

We need a lot more information in order to offer any help. First tell us what year Camry and what engine is in the car. Also, how many miles are on the car and what has been done to the car as far as maintenance, especially recently. Where does ther noise appear to be coming from? How long has this noise been there. Does it happen when you are standing still or driving? If driving, what happens when the brakes are applied? Does the noise speed up as the engine revs up?

If, Mike the (baby food ) Gerber says so trust him, you was getting a brush off.
