can you buy one piece exhaust systems as fitted at the factory to most
cars these days or do you have to replace in bits ?

I'm not aware that a car exhaust is a one piece system.

Probably you would need to replace a centre pipe or a back box (possibly
both at the same time) but leave the engine exhaust manifold and and
catalytic converter in place.

On my last car (ford focus) most of the the original exhaust lasted 17
years. The only bit that had a hole was the engine exhaust manifold.

Do EVs (not hybrids) have exhausts?

You can get fake output pipes

Ive watched a huge amount of videos on car repairs, and it never is. The
cats are usually separate for a start, and there is a tendency to have
seperate mufflers

I too have known a long exhaust pipe fitted, where a replacement pipe
can be purchased in sections.

It makes fitting much easier without having to move axles etc. Plus ease
of shipping and storage with a reduced length. The old would be cut into
sections for removal.
