Default Exhaust problem

HI all..

I've got an '05 STX 4x4 4.6L with some kind of aftermarket exhaust, SIDO. Recently one of the tail pipes broke from the muffler. Bear with me please, I'm not mechanically inclinded here. Is this possible to repair? Or do I need to replace the muffler etc? I've been thinking of just buying a new kit if it's not something that's repairable. The current exhaust has a nice loud tone and I want something comparable. I've been looking at this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RSP-401593/?rtype=10

Does anyone have any advice as far as repair or is the Roush off-road kit a nice buy? I've listened to some clips on YouTube but nothing of great quality to get an accurate gauge. If you have this kit, I'd especially like to know your opinion.

Thanks!

Thanks, that's what I thought too, but the last mechanic I had to it for other issues told me they couldn't repair. I don't know if it's because they didn't have anyone that could do it or they wanted me to replace the entire system. Here are some pics.

ok, resized.

If you go to a mom and pop muffler shop, they'll probably do whatever you ask. You may want to replace it to keep from having to worry about it happening again, though.
