As far as I know these go for around 150-300 for the Corolla.

But isnt it a possibility that the exhaust just has a hole in it?

It could be a possibility so I'd advise to check the car out with a mechanic. Plug it into the computer and see if there's any errors on the oxygen sensor (lamdba). If there's none, check the exhaust.
