Whole new exhaust needed--after market?

I just took my '05 Pontiac Vibe AWD to the mechanic because the tailpipe and muffler were falling off.

Check engine light - evap codes

My 2005 Vibe has been to the mechanic several times over the last year and they can't seem to find the problem that's causing the check engine light to come on. They've replaced the gas cap, solenoid vent, canister vent vale and I've used fuel injection cleaner a couple of times. The codes that come...
