Default Bracket cracked off my gmmg exhaust

One of the hangers on the passenger side, apparently didn't like driving over pot holes and cracked off.. and now has punctured a hole into my exhaust. We have a welder but since this stainless that wont work. Any way to fix this outside of taking it to a muffler shop?

Stainless can be welded.

Looks like the route I was going, it ended up being a bigger hole.. The actual hanger on the car slipped out.. causing the bracket to break off the exahust. Leaving a nice hole where it once was welded. And also make the whole thing shake like no tommorow.

I will let a shop take care of it anyway, since the previous owner thought it would be a great idea to welld the entire exhaust on the car so it can't be removed without cutting... ugh
