That looks kinda typical of the kind of overheating you get when your ignition
is not advanced far enough. If it were mine I would check the ignition
timing and err on the side of being too advanced.
I don't see any reason you couldn't weld it. Should probably check what
is under that plug in the picture. Looks like it has been leaking (need
a new gasket?) and maybe whatever is inside might also be obstructing the
flow also.

I would not go $70 - 100 for a new pipe until I at least tried getting it
welded.

Is the rest of your exhaust system clear, not plugged up? Cat??
