Default best way to repair Pitts Muffler

OK. I hope I'm posting in the right forum. Due to a slight misjudgement, my Chipmonk landed a little short of the runway. No major damage, ( landing gear ripped off, some severe "rash" on bottom of wing, & a busted "Pitts" style muffler. It didn't destroy it,but just took both exhaust pipes off at the muffler. It didn't bend the muffler & it didn't really bend the pipes. The pipes will fit right back into the muffler & all I have is what looks like a small crack where they were pulled out. What is the best way to fix it ? J-B Weld, solder, silver solder,or what? Thanks in advance for any & all help.
