Wow at cost of rear silencer (e83 2.5i)

so the ex has a 2004 X3 2.5i, and the exhaust has cracked near the entry to the rear silencer. I've not seen it, but apparently its not rusty all, just cracked.. prices for a replacement rear section seem exorbitant compared to for example a 3 series with the same engine, at £500 plus..
what are the odds of being able to weld/repair it do you think?
Or - wheres the best source of a more reasonably priced replacement..
Or - know anyone breaking one of these??!
All responses gratefully received! Thank you..

I have one in the garage. OR I could just weld yours for you, in stainless of course. They do crack quite often and/or the welds break on the mounting arms.

You sir, might just be a bit of a star.
Whereabouts are you?
