Default hole in my 4-2-1 header

I have a 4-2-1 header and while i was driving the car last night something hit the front bottom i think it was a rock
anyway today i checked the header one of the lines in 2 going to 1 was damaged
there is some kind of hole in it, do I have to buy a new header or this can be fixed?
because i'm taking the car to the garage and i dont want him to tell me that i need a new header when i dont !

Thnx

Just go to a ghetto muffler shop. They can probably patch it up for < $20 (thats just all speculation, but seems about right from other exp. I had with muffler shops)

stainless header?
Ah hell, doesn't really matter. They can weld stainless. If it's ceramic coated they'll have to grind off some of the coating to weld in that area, so you might be a little more prone to have rust for in that area, but should be fine.
