Many Troubles

I bought a 2006 Yaris, manual transmission, 4 door hatchback. I took it to see what I need to pass the provincial safety inspection (Ontario). Main issues I'm facing are: many holes in the front section of exhaust, muffler section is fine. A few holes in the floor under the front seat area. And not a fail item for the safety but there's a horrible noise coming from the belt area, they said it was the alternator.

Questions: Where's the best place to find an exhaust in Canada? I see a price of $1100 on toyotapartsdirect.ca. The shop said about $800. Anything cheaper than that?
What gauge of steel do I need to weld to the floor to patch the holes? Is it possible to rivet instead of weld? They said there are a few fist sized holes and a few smaller holes. I'm going to try to take the carpet out and do the work from above for now, then I'll go underneath later and clean everything up and coat it.
Looking into possibly repairing the alternator, I'll take it apart and see if it's something I can do. Anyone ever been through this?

Any answers or other thoughts, comments, suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
