Buy a used one? Originals are not really worth much

Christ mate, don't take their advice, get on eBay or here, and grab a second hand one.  Did they specify where it had cracked, the GTI exhaust is pretty much just two sections front to back. Doing this will probably save you at least £550 inc. someone else fitting it. :happy2:
