The exhuast is broke on muffler section, where the 2 goes to 1. Not Y pipe. I know the y pipe is titanium, replaced those 2 years ago. Better luck so far with stainless.
Broke exhaust, can it be welded?

Yes the stainless can be welded pretty easily. I repaired mine before as well. Tig welding with stainless rod is the best option.

That is a common failure for stock exhaust that have seen several seasons of hard use.
It can't be welded (reliably) because the design is a slip fit of the y section into the larger single pipe section, and your crack is now essentially a butt joint. It will not be robust enough after welding to endure the harsh environment of countless heat cycles and tunnel flexing.
