Default Can a cracked downpipe be fixed? Or does anyone have one I can buy?

Anyone know if I am able to have my cracked downpipe welded? See the pics for the damage, all at the flange which bolts to the turbo outlet. There is ceramic coating there so not sure how that changes things. Also, the crack is on the original weld and I obviously don't want to have a thick bead of weld obstructing the exhaust flow. I'm having trouble getting a replacement quickly; does anyone have one for cheap close to Nashville, TN? I need it this week.

thanks.

I'd just remove the liner in yours and if you're worried about the thermals you can wrap it until you want to invest in a larger downpipe

I had to cut the downpipe in half to get the inner pipe out.
