Yes,
My brother and I have both welded leaky header pipes at the spot where the two
pipes merge into one. To really get a clean weld on it you want to grind till
it's clean metal and if you can where the crack is grind a V into the crack.
Also a good idea to drill a hole in the crack right at the end of it so you
relieve the stress of the crack.

Also the header pipe is available from brickboard parts suppliers for much better prices than the Volvo dealers. You can get the Starla pipes which is the OEM for Volvo for good prices. I just bought the exhaust from the cat back for only $126 shipped to my door. It's Starla and the pipes are mandrel bent.
