Dont bother with powerflow or custome exhausts they are all serial pants and will rust to fuck in no time.
What exhaust have you got atm? Just get an off the shelf item from the likes of Magnex, scorpion, Jetex or BFO and then just get the system mated to the downpipe. The good thing about the off the shelf items are the welds are clean and the finish is far superior to powercrust jobbies...unless its a tony law jobbie 
As for suspension if you want coilovers go for it but if money is an issue.
Koni Adjustables seems to be the general consensus amoungst the 2ltr guys

you can buy a cat back corsa system and take it to an exhaust place and they will make it fit, but tbh your probably better off just seeing laurence at top gear in burnley

basically if your car has a cat, its a pipe from there to meet up to your exhaust system.
easy peasy job for an exhaust place.

for a full system shouldn't pay more than £350....thats for a good one....
get a magnex mated to downpipe, any decent zorst place should be able to do it for you..
