If it is a crack between two sound pieces of metal then it can be 
welded. It's more likely that it is a crack between two rusted out 
pieces and a weld there really won't have anything to stick to. The 
best thing to do is to just start looking for a new muffler. The noise 
won't hurt anything except your ears.
