Default Exhaust leak fix

I was doing some inspection on my 2003 GS430 last weekend and I found that annoying exhaust leak. I caused it while driving cross country and ran over a fresh deer carcass somewhere in Wisconsin at 70mph... luckily we just "slid" over it and kept going.. however it did cause this exhaust leak. Could someone give me an idea of what it would cost to fix the section of exhaust in the picture?

I'm not sure what the price would be, but I bet any competent muffler shop could fix it for a lot less then replacing the system

I had an exhaust leak too and the front part that is shaped like a Y was replaced on boths sides. It cost me $80 for full replacement installed at Velasquez Mufflers in Elgin, IL.

So my recommendations shop around, I stopped at Merlins and they wanted to charge me $200 to fix, 2nd place wanted to charge me $120 and this 3rd place did it for $80 and I saw them do the work.
