The exact same thing has happened to me on my current car and my previous Tuscan. I have taken them both to Racing Green to be welded. I think to weld stainless steel you need MIG/TIG(?) welding equipment. Both of the exhausts had to be removed from the car (I think the passenger side is above the drivers side exhaust as it runs down the centre of the car) before they it could be welded. Something about sparks under the fuel tank I think... Anyway, I think it cost me half an hours labour plus vat.

Hope this helps
