Default Hole in header

I purchased some ss headers off ebay, they where actually pretty nice. However, I noticed a rasp before I put it away for the winter. Got under the car to find that the tube leading to the AIR system had broken at the header making a small hole. I don't have AIR or EGR so thats not a problem but I was wndering what the best way to fix it is. Can I just take it to my shop and have them weld it up or do I need new headers.

Thanks
