You should find a straight section where you can cut the pipe and then clamp on a cheap muffler from Kragen. No need to weld.

I'm not going to weld my Mom's exhaust. Just going to clamp a pipe in there. They make shot female sections to clamps two pieces of 2.25" together, sold at most autoparts stores. They also have $30 mufflers.
