Damaged Mufflers - Repairable or buy new?

I was backing up into a space in a parking lot and was paying too much attention to the concrete to the side of me and ended up backing into more concrete directly behind me. My left side muffler is damaged and the right is very slightly. I'm wondering if this is repairable by a muffler shop or if I should just get new mufflers? I don't know if the damage to the right muffler was from this incident or because it's rusting.

Here's some pics:

Get new ones from a junkyard...

Or take them to a muffler shop, they'll weld that thing right up for you in no time I bet, like $20?

OR, you could use this as an excuse to buy a nice exhaust system.

Except that I'm not looking to spend a lot of money. If I had been more careful I wouldn't be spending any money
